You dont ever want your quarterback to force things Mora said

Ball-hawking safeties in the Bears Cover-Two scheme prevented the quarterback from testing the defense down the field and Wallace instead checked down to receivers on shorter routes. If Hasselbeck does not return this week, Wallace will face a similar Colts defense patterned after former coach Tony Dungys Tampa Two alignment. Most routes have a deep, an intermediate, and a shallow part to it, Mora said. Depending upon coverage and his read and who gets open, hes got a progression that hes got to go through to get to that throw. We tried to get it down the field and they (the Bears safeties) were there.In 2008, teams in the NFL averaged 53.3 throws downfield (of at least 21 yards or more) according to Stats, LLC. Using the same criteria, Wallace attempted a deep pass on only eight of his 44 throws last Sunday Of the eight, he completed just two for 44 yards.

Instead, the longest of Wallaces five completions went to TE John Carlson for nine yards. Carlson, in particular, found several openings in the Bears secondary during the series. "They gave us opportunities to connect with John, but I didn't take advantage of those opportunities," Wallace said. While Wallace found difficulty spotting Carlson, he seemed to have developed better chemistry with WR Nate Burleson. Burleson had no trouble gaining separation from the physical Bears corners on intermediate routes and caught nine passes for 109 yards.

Though Wallace started eight games last year, Burleson missed all but one game with an injured ACL. He gets the ball out of his hands in a very accurate way, Burleson said. All we got to do is run routes.Regardless of the coverage or blitz packages presented by the Colts this weekend, Mora does not want Wallace to make deep throws just for the sake of testing his arm. The coach still believes he has a number of receivers who can make plays after the catch and wants Wallace to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

You dont ever want your quarterback to force things, Mora said. You want him to take what the coverage gives you, read his progression, and make the right decision. .
