CHICAGO - In sequestering his starters for nearly the entire preseason, Matt Nagy has accomplished perhaps one unspoken goal - keeping the revamped running game under wraps until the Sept. 5 opener against the Packers.
While most projections for the Bears offense in Year 2 have rightfully centered on quarterback Mitch Trubisky and improvements he can make, the ground game could make the biggest difference.
Nagy termed the running game a work in progress into December last season, saying the Bears were trying to "massage their identity." At times he appeared bored with a ground attack led by Jordan Howard. As one NFL scout put it, Howard isn't nearly as much fun for a play-caller as Kareem Hunt was for the Chiefs in 2017, when Nagy got his first chance to direct an offense under coach Andy Reid.
The Bears finished 26th in the league
