DJ Moore isn’t expecting any changes to the Bears’ play-calling arrangement on offense.
Chicago’s retooled offense has done a lot of starting and stopping this season. After drafting Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze and adding D’Andre Swift and Keenan Allen to the offense, it took a few weeks for the unit to really get off the ground. They began to hit their stride around Week 5, but in their two losses since the Week 7 bye have seen the offense stagnate again.
Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron has come under fire periodically throughout the season, and the Bears putting up just nine points against the Cardinals has ramped up calls to turn offensive play-calling over to somebody else.
Chicago’s No. 1 wideout told Mully & Haugh he doesn’t foresee such a change.
"I don't think that will happen,” Moore said Monday. “We've just got to go back to the drawing board and start putting people in different positions to be able to move the ball and stay on the same page and stick together.”
Moore’s comments also came after sidestepping an earlier question about whether head coach Matt Eberflus has lost the team.
We’ve seen the offense put all the pieces together at different points this season with Waldron as the play-caller. Given his apparent willingness to listen to player feedback, sticking together and going back to the drawing board, as Moore suggested, could be enough to get things back on track.
Time will tell, but the Bears at least have a get-right game against the woeful Patriots lined up for next Sunday.
