Someone had to be the best offensive player for the Chicago Bears on Sunday, right? Pro Football Focus released their grades for the Bears in their Week 1 defeat against the Green Bay Packers and named Darnell Wright as the second-best offensive player for Chicago.
(But the leader, Marcedes Lewis, played only five total snaps Sunday–all of them on running players. That’s a questionable decision itself when they could have used him to help with pass blocking on the edge.)
The grades given were just for players.
But the worst part of the Bears team Sunday was seen on the sidelines with the coaching staff and in the press box with general manager Ryan Poles looking down. The game plan and adjustments made by this coaching staff were off the charts bad.
So was the body language exhibited by players during the second half. Head coach Matt Eberflus will need to quickly get his players on the same page and in a good mindset, or he’ll lose the team before the trade deadline.
The players followed their coach’s game plan to utter annihilation. PFF’s overall grades reflect that. Here are the top and bottom performers for the Bears in Week 1.
Top 5 Bears players on offense includes rookie Darnell Wright
- TE Marcedes Lewis (73.0) five snaps
- OT Darnell Wright (72.1) five pressures given up, zero sacks, 74 total snaps
- Roschon Johnson (71.5) 29 total snaps
- D’Onta Foreman (68.5) 21 total snaps
- Tyler Scott (67.1) 13 total snaps
Bottom 5 Bears players on offense
- OG Nate Davis (48.6) 74 total snaps
- OG Cody Whitehair (47.2) 74 snaps
- WR Chase Claypool (43.2) 58 snaps
- C Lucas Patrick (43.2) 74 snaps
- TE Robert Tonyan (41.0) four snaps
The interior of the offensive line…NOT FIXED
Top 5 Bears players on defense
- DT Andrew Billings (88.1) 33 snaps
- S Eddie Jackson lol (78.8) 60 total snaps
- DT Zacch Pickens (75.6) 12 snaps
- CB Tyrique Stevenson (67.2) 60 snaps
- Jaylon Johnson lol (66.6) 60 snaps
Bottom 5 Bears players on defense
- LB Tremaine Edmunds (51.2) 60 total snaps
- DL DeMarcus Walker (50.6) 47 snaps
- LB T.J. Edwards (49.3) 59 total snaps
- DL Justin Jones (45.9) 39 total snaps
- DE Rasheem Green (37.7) 25 total snaps
Looks like Edwards isn’t the same without the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles front seven. Tremaine Edmunds was a major disappointment. By the way, Roquan Smith was the Baltimore Ravens top-rated defender with an 86.2 overall grade on 77 snaps.
And can the Bears coaching staff really defend keeping Green over Terrell Lewis after this performance?
