BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — One of the better things a player can be in the eyes of their coaches is someone who “doesn’t make the same mistake twice,” as in if they do screw up, they quickly learn from it.
Generally speaking, Mitch Trubisky is considered one of those guys. But he’s not immune to making a mistake, and then making it again later in practice, the next day, the next week, etc. That’s not a knock on his football intelligence or his work ethic, both of which are roundly praised by coaches and teammates.
But it is a reminder that the offense Trubisky is in the process of learning is complex and takes plenty of effort to operate effectively.
