“We got playmakers, but I don’t know if we have an identity,” Claypool said. “I think we’re still figuring that out.”

A month into the season feels a little late to be figuring out what kind of offense you have. As the offensive line improves, it should be pretty clear to the coaches what this offense is capable of. The main things holding that back appear to be an unwillingness by offensive coordinator Matt Canada to open things up and see what this group can do and a quarterback in Mitch Trubisky who is still playing like he’s scared to make a mistake.

This is a team with two very competent running backs, three playmaking wide receivers and a huge tight end with elite potential. How can these coaches continue to mess this up?
