Earlier this week, Nagy explained why he believes this is the year when the Bears offense will finally click. But given the disappointing start in the preseason, where the starting offense has scored six points and totaled 144 yards on eight possessions — 73 of those yards coming on Adams’ deep touchdown, it’s hard to have much confidence things will suddenly change.
Despite a slow go of it in preseason, second-year tight end Cole Kmet believes the offense is ready to show what this offense can accomplish.
“I think we’re all eager and ready to show what we can do as an offense,” Kmet said. “We feel really good about where we’re at. Haven’t really had it in the games necessarily, whether guys have been out or things like that. But we’ve been feeling good about what we’ve been putting together in practice and where we think our strengths and our weaknesses are. Kind of tighten up those things as we lead up to Week 1. We’re just excited to get out there and show everyone what we can do.”
When looking at how this offense has grown between last year and now, Kmet pointed specifically to quarterback Andy Dalton, who has been good at communicating his expectations, which the players respect.
“I think there’s a lot more communication this year between players and Andy (Dalton). He’s been great at communicating things to the receivers, tight ends and running backs. As players, I think we’ve taken that to — not only get to know one another off the field…but just on the field knowing our talks, our calls and things like that have been really helpful.”
