Third-year Bears quarterback Justin Fields characterized his play in the Week 2 loss as 'robotic' and added that he was not 'playing like myself.'
. He is also a gifted runner, but in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Fields rushed four times for a mere three yards.
Fields said that during the offseason the coaching staff put an emphasis on him remaining in the pocket. The former Ohio State football star said he wants to focus on simplifying things so that he can get back to playing like his"old self." "You're trying to process so much information to where it's like, if I just simplify it in my mind, I would have did this. I saw a few plays on Sunday, if I was playing like my old self, we would have had a positive play. There would have been more third-down [conversions]. I think that's just the biggest thing for me is playing the game how I know how to play and how I've been playing my whole life. That's what I got to get back to doing.
But later on Wednesday, the Bears signal caller clarified his comments during a session with reporters in the locker room after practice.
