Luke Getsy explains the QB Power play call on 4th and 1.
Justin Fields' usage has been under a lot of scrutinies following the Packers' game on Sunday Night. Indeed, Fields only threw the ball 11 times. That incredibly low number has led to several days of questions about whether or not the Bears trust their young Qb or no.
However, his usage was not the only thing in question after the loss. Indeed, Luke Getsy and HC Matt Eberflus' decision to run a quarterback power on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line in the fourth quarter has also been nitpicked by many.
Getsy had no hesitation in saying he'd call that play again if he could.
"We love that play," Getsy said. "We didn't execute it properly. For whatever reason, we kind of saw something, we were seeing little ghosts a little bit upfront. They were able to get penetration where we should have had two linemen on one to stop that penetration which kind of got Lucas [Patrick] off a little bit instead of cleaning that gap. And then it would have just been Lucas with 59 in the hole, and then Justin still would have had to run through some contact.
Here is the clip where he explains what he had in mind:
