If there's one thing that is fast becoming clear about Mitch Trubisky, it is his mastery of the subtle digs. On the surface he's a pleasant young man. He is honest, forthright, intelligent and puts the blame for any problems the Chicago Bears are having on his own shoulders. At the same time the guy has become quite the master at slipping the occasional troll job during his media session, especially in regards to the coaching staff.
It started off innocently enough. A few weeks back he was talking about the progress of the offense and how it was able to hit on some big plays. At that point he indicates they could do some good things down the field "when Coach Fox lets us." While hardly an outright criticism, it was a minor protest that he hoped there would be greater permission to attack in the future.
His wish didn't come to pass. At least not as soon as he would've liked. Finally in Cincinnati, only after the fates of the coaching staff appear sealed, did the car get thrown out of first gear. The Bears called all sorts of different plays, mixing things up. Trubisky threw the ball all over the place, not being restricted to must-pass situations any longer.
The offense piled up 482 yards and 33 points. After the game, he couldn't resist a little "I told you so" moment.
