Which is a weakness of cover 3 which Chicago pretty much ran entire game without disguising it. There's ways of going up top without putting too much risk on your qb. Bootlegs, screens to slow rush down, go max protect with a deep route and maybe someone else leaking out. Stop going empty and bringing Mixon in to pass block he isn't good at it. I recall 1 screen to Chase late in the 4th no bootlegs or max protects. Don't recall any tight ends attacking the seams over the backers and under the safeties either.
The predictability of his playcalling Sunday was at Bob Bratkowski levels. The Bears knew if they were running or throwing most of the time just from the packages he was putting out there alone.
There's ways to help your o-line and protect your qb through packages/formations and playcalling but Zacs gameplanning and playcalling isn't doing the O-line or Burrow any favors.
