How will the bears running game be this year?

Question

if kevin jones is healthy? and matt forte is better than decent?

Answer 1

The problem in Chicago isnt the running backs. The running game will be effected by the lack of a good QB, if you dont respect the passing game you can load 8 guys in the box. I am pretty sure no team fears their passing game. The other factor this year is the offensive line. They seem to be digressing and unless your name is Barry Sanders you need holes to have any success running the ball. ANd they even let their best blocking WR leave, that cant help. Both Jones and Forte are very good backs but they cant do it alone.

Answer 2

Above average but not great. Of course, the running game isn't what they need to worry about and Bears management is too cheap to actually address the glaring weakness that will keep them from winning more than 6 games.

Answer 3

i don't think it will be that good no matter who is running the ball for them...the bears' passing game is so bad that every defense is just going to stack 8 guys in the box play after play and take the run away and force whoever it is that's gonna play quarterback to throw the ball and beat them deep, and considering the success rates of the quarterbacks they have competing that will be a tough task

Answer 4

I think Kevin Jones is a underrated back who was used incorrectly in Detroit, and Matt Forte seems like a powerful back who could carry most of the load, with Jones coming in on third downs.
