5. Nagy wants every player to feel they’re being challenged for their position, including Mitchell Trubisky
One of the things that might’ve doomed the Bears last season was that they bought into the pre-season hype where everyone expected Chicago to easily glide to a repeat playoff berth. As everyone well knows, that wasn’t the case as the Bears struggled just to finish .500 after going 12-4 a season ago. Heading into 2020, there shouldn’t be any of those lofty expectations.
Nagy wants everyone to feel as if their job is being challenged as a way to prevent players from playing with a sense of contentedness, which he has voiced to his players. Nagy wants his entire team to play with “more of a chip on their shoulder.” And yes, that includes quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who appears to be on a much shorter leash this season. While last season he was the guaranteed starter, that doesn’t feel like the case heading into 2020.
