Chase Claypool Says the Steelers Schemed Away his Ability To Make Explosive Plays
Receiver Chase Claypool made his Bears debut on Sunday, and while he did not play all of the snaps, he still had a pretty solid impact on the game.
Claypool, who played 26 snaps against the Dolphins, said the playing time "might have been a little more than I was expecting." However, the extra moments spent with coaches and teammates like quarterback Justin Fields or receivers Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown leading up to his debut paid dividends.
Well, Claypool was asked by Josh Schrock about his time with the Steelers and his departure as well.
Chicago, as Claypool sees it, is a location where he will have more opportunities to make the explosive plays he became known for earlyon in his Steelers tenure.
«Not even the focal point as if I'm the only one who could do it," Claypool later added. "But you've got like four or five plays where you could get a good chunk of yards rather than, �here's your one play of the week. Make sure you make a play on this no matter what the coverage is.'»
Even though the Steelers lost faith in Claypool's ability to be a consistent threat in the red zone and with the deep ball, the Bears plan to use Claypool's athleticism, speed, and size to help boost their passing game that has struggled to find explosion plays so far this season
This is so great to hear.
