His title may be quarterbacks coach but Dave Ragone knows what his job is now. It's personal tutor to Chicago Bears rookie Mitch Trubisky. From this point forward it's his job to do anything and everything possible in his power to help make the #2 overall pick a success. Around 90% of his time at work is devoted to that endeavor.
So it's not like there's a ton on his plate. Keep that in mind when hearing that Ragone, a former quarterback himself, admitted that Trubisky was way ahead of him on a number of things during film study. A rookie with 17 total starts between college and the pros is a quicker study on film than a guy with 13 years of experience.
Ragone explained how during an interview with Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune. He noted Trubisky's ability to identify parts of plays he could execute better. Plays even Ragone himself didn't see.
"We’re obviously at the halfway point and we had the bye week to have a chance to look through the cut-ups of the plays that we’ve run. And we had the chance to hit pause a little bit. And there were things (last week) that he mentioned that I hadn’t even been looking at where he’d say, ‘Hey, I can get better at that,’ or ‘Hey, I’ve gotten better at that.’ This was a good reflection point."
