Alignment, discipline, and tackling. These are the three key ingredients to stopping the run-pass option. The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles will need those three elements to keep the Chicago Bears’ offense from picking them apart. Seems easy enough, right?
Bears’ head coach Matt Nagy is a creative play-caller but most importantly he is in tune with his quarterback Mitch Trubisky. He knows when his signal-caller needs some easy throws to get in a rhythm and get the offense out of a funk. Nagy often does this with RPOs, and for his part Trubisky’s decision-making on these concepts make him an effective point guard.
