The Chicago Bears defense has looked impressive through the first two weeks but Mitchell Trubisky has still made some questionable throws and the Seattle Seahawks defense took notice. Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark, in particular, was not impressed by what he saw from the young Bears QB.
“He was OK. Nothing special. I feel like he was OK. [He’s an] average quarterback,” Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark said, via Eric Edholm of ProFootballWeekly.com. ”
Clark was surprised with how much Trubisky struggled with pressure, especially for a guy taken with the second overall pick last year.
“I felt that we should make more plays against him,” Clark said. “Pressure is his downfall; the more you can get pressure up the middle and in his face, and he throws those errant passes like that, that’s how you can beat him. We failed to do that enough against him.
“Happy feet — once he feels any pressure, his head is down and he’s gone [out of the pocket].”
It's a team game but Clark wasn't willing to give Trubisky credit for the victory, instead he gave those praises to the Bears defense.
Trubisky did throw two touchdowns but he also threw two interceptions. With as good of defense as the Bears have Trubisky really just needs to be a game manager and interceptions is something he can't have.
If teams do notice that Trubisky does struggle against the pressure expect teams to really load up on the blitzes to try and make his life tough.
