Huge credit to our Oline because stuffed run rate should be even lower.

Swift so far has made a case for him to be our Lighting, now the Bears need to find our Thunder!

EDIT: D'andre not Deandre

  5. The thing that is so frustrating with Swift is that he is below average between the tackles, yet he continually tries to go up them, or cuts back to them instead of bouncing outside and trusting it. Then you get a team like Baltimore, who realizes we are only effective at running outside, and takes that option away. We desperately need a power runner who can be that inside threat.

  6. Swift has been fine. If only our genius GM and genius HC signed a guy like dowdle or javonte williams this offseason we could have our TEMU Sonic and knuckles. All this graph really tells me is that the bears should be going all in on breece hall if he hits free agency – Cut swift and use that $$ to sign breece.

  7. I’m not ready to put D’Andre swift near the tier I think Gibbs is in, but I think it’s also fair to say he’s received way too much hate from the fanbase. He’s an average to above average RB who can be great if schemed correctly which he has been since the bye. I hope it continues and he gets a bit healthier because when he gets going it unlocks the offense a bit.

  8. This is whay drives me crazy about last weeks game. Swift had what like 5 carries in the 1st half? Let’s lean on run game a little more and open up the passing lanes!

  9. JCM?? Anyone else think this graph is random? Vidal? Breece and JK more consistent than JT? Etienne and mason should be bottom left??

  10. Swift does some nice things, but his vision still leaves a lot to be desired. I think it was Hoge who pointed out that he missed an obvious hole that would have led to a TD 2 plays before Caleb got sacked in the RZ last game.

    Still – players are what they are at some point and Swift has been using the things he’s good at pretty damn well.

  12. he can do a lot well BUT
    – his vision is bad
    – he’s small for the position
    – he can’t pass pro
    – he has no contact balance

    if he was bad at one or two of those thigns, it would be a different story. the reason he gets so much hate is because he’s bad at alllll four. you can’t be a main RB in the and be bad at all four. it leads to too many negative plays.

  13. My how the posts have turned. Anyone who said he wasn’t the problem 4 weeks ago would get litio and downvoted in here
