Fields still had a chance to escape the pocket on that one, but he recognized the pressure a hair late. Garrett got past Jason Peters on the next play when Peters’ attempt to cut-block him failed. He was in quickly, and Garrett muscled tight end Cole Kmet backward to help out. On the first, with 11:47 left in the first half, Browns linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah blitzed from Fields’ left and no one picked him up. On his way to a franchise-record 4œ sacks, Garrett had 2œ in a span of seven plays in the second quarter. Ifedi barely got his hands on Clowney as he raced to drop Fields before he had a chance to do anything. The Bears moved the ball well on their first drive, starting with a 16-yard run by David Montgomery and ending with a 47-yard field goal by Cairo Santos, but the Browns broke through on the first snap of the next possession.ĭefensive end Jadeveon Clowney went inside on Ifedi and was way too fast for him. And the Bears paid for it by losing 67 yards on nine sacks: While the Browns shifted their strategy, Nagy never did. ‘‘It came to us easily after the second possession, and figured out what they were going to do and how we were going to adjust to that.’’ ‘‘We settled in and saw how they planned to use the flow of the game,’’ Garrett said. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields got hit on 15 of his 29 dropbacks, and Browns defensive end Myles Garrett told NBC his team was pleasantly surprised that Nagy didn’t get Fields and his elite mobility out of the pocket. The Bears can’t be stunned by their poor line play when that was their starting point.īut a coach’s job is to find solutions, and Matt Nagy certainly didn’t. It’s important to remember they went into this season with no experienced left tackles - Plan A was Teven Jenkins, a second-round draft pick who played right tackle - and confidently writing in Germain Ifedi at right tackle. The Bears have been promising that about their offensive line for three years. Matt Nagy putting new Justin Fields plan in motion Matt Nagy: ‘Everything’s on the table’ to fix offense
