The Chicago Bears offense has plenty to be optimistic about heading into the 2012 NFL season, even with a new offensive coordinator in Mike Tice and with the possibility of running back Matt Forte holding out.
The Bears have added more weapons to their offense, including All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall and up-and-coming running back Michael Bush. Chicago has also added speedsters in Eric Weems and Devin Thomas, who are expected to contribute on special teams and could bring some versatility to help quarterback Jay Cutler in the passing game.
Tice inherits an offense with one of the most talented arms in the NFL in Cutler. However, his best weapon, Forte, is holding out during the Bears’ voluntary workouts and will probably threaten to hold out all the way until training camp.
Can Tice handle an offense that might not have Forte? Will he utilize the new players on the roster in an efficient manner?
Here are five reasons why Tice will run a successful offensive unit for Chicago in 2012.
