Bears look for Fields to make jump after trading for Moore, adding to offensive line

Associated Press  

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears gave quarterback Justin Fields a new playmaking receiver and added to their offensive line in an effort to provide him with better protection. But in the pass game, look at the different scenarios, situations, two-minute, and continue to improve that.” Fields dazzled last season with his blistering speed, not to mention instincts and power. “I think any time you’re in the same offense two consecutive years, it does make it easier and you’re not having to learn a new offense, new protections, new language within an offense,” Fields said. I’ve definitely felt way more comfortable this offseason in OTAs than I have the past two, for sure.” The moves the Bears made, plus his familiarity with the system, puts Fields at least in position to make a significant jump.
