7 years agoChicago Bears running back Jordan Howard is looking forward to a less predictable offense under new head coach Matt Nagy in 2018. The offense last season under head coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains ranked third to last in the league with 287.4 yards per game, and they were dead last with 175.7 passing yards per game. "I felt great about that because last year we were pretty much basic and everybody knew what we were going do, they knew what was coming pretty much every play so it was pretty easy for them to stop us," Howard said when asked for his reaction to Nagy saying the Bears new offense would be fun. "Now, I feel like we're going to be a lot more creative and have defenses off balance." Not helping matters was the fact that Chicago's receiving corps was among the worst in the league, so opposing defenses sold out to stop Howard and the run game, but he still managed his second straight 1,000-yard season and scored nine touchdowns on the ground. With more offensive weapons around him and improved quarterback play from Mitch Trubisky, Howard should remain a fine RB1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
