Analyzing Justin Fields' Struggles: Coaching or Hesitation?

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields attributes his "robotic" play in a recent loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to overthinking and being too reliant on coaching instructions. Fields expressed the need to play more instinctually and freely, stating that he plans to simplify his approach and trust his instincts moving forward. He believes that processing too much information during games hinders his ability to play like himself. Fields discussed his concerns with the coaching staff, who expressed support for him to play more freely while maintaining a balance between following instructions and playing instinctually. Additionally, the Bears' offensive line suffered a setback with starting left tackle Braxton Jones being placed on injured reserve due to a neck injury.
