I wish we had a Michael Crabtree or a Larry Fitgerald guy on the Bears. A guy who can catch a 7 yard pass on 3rd and 5 more often than not. There's no guy on the Bears that I currently feel like is a go to. Yeah, lots of the game depends on Tru, but if you had a guy who could catch passes (maybe even bad ones?) more often than not, I'd feel a lot better.

Miller can be that guy if Mitch can find him. He has been open a lot over the last few weeks and sometimes mitch doesnt find him. Miller needs to be his go to guy.

That guy is Burton.

No joke, I think Shaheen will help quite a bit.

I really can't wait until he gets healthy. I thought he would be back by now.

Not many teams have one but Robinson doesn't get enough separation or make people miss to be one. Cohen is kinda that guy.

Yeah, it obviously isn't an easy piece to have on your team. Cohen has shown some ability when split out.

I think it takes a year or so to completely come back from the type of injury Robinson had. If he ever gets back to where he was physically prior to the injury it most likely won’t be until next season provided he stays healthy this year. I think Zach Lavigne (sp) is in that boat with the Bulls where he’s finally feeling 100%

Him and Mitch were developing chemistry last year.

The offense isn't the problem. The missing piece is someone that can rush the passer opposite Mack.

The missing piece when they’ve lost is Mack being able the rush the passer.

That guy is Allen Robinson. Mitch needs to be able to get it to him at least somewhat consistently.

Yep. I commented a similar opinion earlier today on another thread. The Bears receivers lose too many 50/50 balls. They have some average to good receivers but other than Burton, they don't have anyone else that Mitch can just have a guy who can go up and catch the ball and handfight the defender for the ball.
