Justin Fields' Teammates Take Note of a Major Improvement in His Game
Justin Fields Shines in Training Camp: Teammates Notice Major Improvement
Justin Fields faced some challenges throwing the ball during his rookie season, with low yards per game, a completion percentage just above 60, and an average TD-INT ratio. His struggles were multifaceted, including issues with holding onto the football, inconsistent footwork, and a lack of timing in the offense. Moreover, he dealt with subpar pass protection and limited offensive weapons. However, this season seems to be a different story.
Fields dedicated himself to mastering the offense during the offseason, and General Manager Ryan Poles made significant upgrades to the offensive roster. With the arrival of players like D.J. Moore, Darnell Wright, Robert Tonyan, and Nate Davis, expectations were high for Fields as training camp began.
His defensive teammates have already noticed a big change. Linebacker T.J. Edwards and safety Jaquan Brisker observed that Fields is going through progressions faster and getting the ball out quicker than last year. This improvement may be the reason behind his strong start to camp.
The Bears' offense seems to be reflecting Fields' identity. The entire unit is working hard, giving maximum effort in practice, and not dwelling on mistakes. Although occasional hiccups still occur, they are significantly fewer compared to last year's training camp. This indicates a positive direction for the team, and Fields' growing confidence is palpable. He's no longer questioning everything around him; instead, he's taking command of the offense and making it his own, which aligns with offensive coordinator Luke Getsy's goals.
While training camp is promising, the true test lies ahead in actual games. Fields will face his first challenge against the Green Bay Packers in September. The Packers' defense has posed problems for him in the past, particularly in the passing game. However, if Fields can have a productive outing against their talented secondary, it will be a strong indicator of his growth and potential turning point in his career. The stage is set for Fields to prove himself, and Bears fans are eagerly anticipating what he'll bring to the table in the upcoming season.
