No going deep to get the defense to back off? No screens? Way too much empty backfield - which with a defense playing no less than 8 guys within 10 of the line is a recipe for blocking problems? I don't care who you run out there as linemen, no line is going to succeed with this gameplan. 

Notice the Rams did exactly what we should have - they max protected and threw deep right out of the gate. By getting the bombs they forced the Bears to back off the line.  

I was told one time by a poster on here that I was dumb for calling for less 5 wide. Apparently 5 wide reduces pass rush because the D needs to cover. All I’ve ever seen is Burrow getting murdered.
