Luke Getsy calls Justin Fields ahead of pace
Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy talked to the media following the Bears rookie minicamp. While some of the questions were don't he rookie who attended the camp, you can guess everyone was talking about QB Justin Fields.
Getsy, who coached under Matt LaFleur in Green Bay, plans to build his offense around Fields' strengths. Given LaFleur comes from the Shanahan tree, you expect a lot of outside zone runs and bootlegs that get Fields on the move and play to what the young QB does best.
"We're working through this thing step by step," Getsy said Sunday after the final day of Bears rookie minicamp. "You know we're making sure that we master, in order to be able to master our craft, we have to master each step. So we're just, we're staying on track. I think he's, if anything, ahead of pace."
He also liked what he saw in Fields' work ethic.
"I've been super impressed with him. I really have,» Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said, via Kevin Fishbain of TheAthletic.com. «There's no one in this building that works harder than him. There's no one that cares more than him. We're off to a great start. He's really accepted this challenge. We're asking a lot of him to learn a lot of new things. He's been a pleasure to work with.»
Getsy and Fields haven't had much time together yet, but they are building a relationship day by day.
«I was raised on that � that the play caller and the quarterback have to have a great relationship, and that's important,» Getsy said. «We have to be on the same page, always. That's where I've felt like he's grown, is he's communicating with me so well now � things that he's feeling; things that he sees � and so that part of it has just been tremendous, for a young guy to be able to do that. These three or four months that we've been together, it's been a lot of fun.»
