3. Trubisky deflected some blame for last season’s struggles
The age-old adage for professional athletes is no matter how bad your team struggles, always take responsibility when speaking to the media. Trubisky didn’t necessarily do that on Friday when asked about last season’s issues.
“It had to do with health and lack of details on offense,” Trubisky said.
Trubisky on biggest issues with #Bears offense last season: "It had to do with health and lack of details on offense."

He could be referring to himself when speaking about health, as he basically missed two full games dealing with a separated shoulder. But it sounds like he’s talking about other offensive players who weren’t healthy. Former right guard Kyle Long, who has since retired, wound up on injured reserve after Week 5 and right tackle Bobby Massie missed the last portion of the season.
Trubisky may have been talking about the tight end position, which truly was decimated by injuries. Still, it’s not a great look for a team captain. As for the details comment, it’s unclear what he meant but everyone and their brother could tell he and Nagy weren’t on the same page when it came to the offense.
