Bears Hoping To Have Two 1,000-Yard RB’s This Season

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, offensive coordinator Mike Tice reportedly told RB Michael Bush “that he wanted two 1,000-yard running backs” this season.

“He said he wanted to do it,” said Bush, “and I said, ‘Well, you got the right two people.’ ”

Even with an upgraded passing attack, the Bears still figure to run the ball quite often due to Tice’s offensive philosophy. Bush figures to be the goal-line running back, with RB Matt Forte carrying majority of the workload. While it’s a possibility, it seems like unlikely considering improved weapons that the Bears have this season.
