Chase Claypool points to Bears' coaching as a reason for not tapping into the WR's full potential during their 13-game skid.
Chase Claypool, the former Pittsburgh Steelers standout, has voiced his frustrations with the Bears' coaching under Matt Eberflus amidst the team's alarming slide. With the Bears anchored at the bottom of the NFC North and on a 13-game losing streak, tensions are understandably high in Chicago.
Transitioning from the Steelers, a team known for its consistent success under Mike Tomlin, Claypool's current predicament with a winless Bears must be challenging. The wide receiver's discontent became evident when he openly responded to a journalist's question, suggesting he wasn't maximizing his potential on the field.
Chase Claypool echoes Justin Fields in highlighting coaching issues Players' criticism of the coaching staff isn't new. Earlier, quarterback Justin Fields expressed his frustrations, stating that he felt he was playing in a "robotic" manner rather than in his natural style. Fields pointed towards coaching influences, noting, "They're doing their job...But at the end of the day, I can't be thinking about that when the game comes."
Although Fields later retracted his comments, the team's recent 41-10 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs has reignited concerns. Claypool's recent remarks further underscore the players' diminishing confidence in the coaching staff.
The pressure is mounting on the Bears as they face the equally struggling Denver Broncos next. Both teams are 0-3, with the Broncos coming off a heavy loss to the Miami Dolphins. If the Bears slide to a 0-4 record, these simmering tensions could escalate into a full-blown crisis.
