Ron Turner gone wild!!!
Where has this offense been all year? I’m not necessarily talking about the production–which was good–but the creativity. It was outstanding. The Adrian Peterson halfback option to Bernard Berrian for a touchdown highlighted the Bears 33-25 victory over the Saints. We also saw offensive coordinator Ron Turner use a reverse to wide receiver option (albeit it lost 15 yards), multiple screen formations, and test the deep waters with at least three pass play attempts for 40 yards or more.
It was an offense more reminiscent of the opponent’s then of the Chicago Bears’ “running off the bus” scheme. Maybe Turner fears his job is in jeopardy, although Coach Lovie Smith has apaprently said it is not, and felt the only way to combat the offense’s conservative stigma was to go buck wild. Or maybe at 6-9 he realized that being afraid of turning the ball over wasn’t getting the job done. Either way it worked. Could this be the beginning of a promising offense next season? Let’s hope so.
I love how Lovie Smith sees nothing wrong with his team. They’ve played amazingly well all season and Ron Turner has been very instrumental in all of their successes.
