Nick Foles continues preaching patience for Bears offense

If Bears quarterback Nick Foles was as consistent on the field as he’s been off the field when talking about Chicago’s offense, this team would have a legitimate shot at a Super Bowl run.

Foles, who’s now logged two starts with the Bears, continued pushing the patience narrative Thursday while on a Zoom call with reporters.

“I don’t think we’re where we want to be in the passing game right now,” said Foles. “We want to be a lot more efficient, [be] a lot better. But I also know there’s a progression. It doesn’t just happen overnight. It’s never happened overnight, ever, in my career. It’s really just continue to push forward and continue to self-scout, continue to go out there working on things, throwing routes, talking about different situations, talking about where I want [the receivers] to be, what they see, stuff like that, coverage recognition by me and the receivers and the tight ends and running backs.”

In other words, Bears fans have to hang in there and trust the process. They have to assume Foles will eventually show us what Nagy 202 actually looks like.

But how long will it take to get there?

“I think it’s an offense that you know every single play will be dangerous,” said Foles, “and it’ll be tough, and there won’t be any plays to where the defense recognizes what we’re doing. It will really come down to just, the only way we beat ourselves is if we don’t execute the play because they’ll be there. What does that look like? I don’t know yet, and I’m not going to tell you all, but I have some ideas, and we have some ideas, but it’s just continue to believe and continue to work, and right now, we’re working through [that].”
