The Bears wide receiver battle took a turn every day in training camp and usually an injury had something to do with each one.In the end attrition kept coaches from getting a consistently long look at some pa s catchers. It seems Dante Pettis is one of those who found a seat before Brady Christensen Jersey the music stopped.Justin Fields had high praise for Pettis, who caught a 12-yard touchdown pa s in Saturday's game, and offensive coordinator Luke Getsy also did. It would be awfully difficult to justify removing Pettis from the roster now after he was the receiver left healthy and producing both on offense and special teams as preseason ended."An opportunity was presented and John Miller Jersey he's gone out and taken it by the horns," offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said. While praising Pettis' ability to grasp all of the receiver positions in the offense, Getsy also something more than a receiver who could find a soft spot in a zone and wait for the ball."He's been presented one-on-one opportunities and he's won them, both in practice and the preseason games," Getsy said. "In our game, you have to have guys who are able to win those one-on-one battles. He's done a nice job with that."The touchdown was typical of the kind of route running the Bears have seen from Pettis. Seeing DB Greedy Williams using inside leverage Pettis made a Sean Chandler Jersey fake to take him to the inside to an even greater extent and then broke out and up into the side of the end zone for the TD.Scroll to Continue"So he stayed patient on his route and, of course, ran a good route," Fields said. "He's a great route runner, probably one of the best ones that we have on the team. "So he executed the route perfectly and I threw a good ball to him."Being a strong D.J. Moore Jersey route runner requires several specific skills."I think its his patience, obviously," Getsy said. "He has a really cool ability to play on his insteps. And his patience to be able to, and be comfortable being really close to a defender is something that the great ones, theyre able to do that."Theres no panic. Youre not making a move so far away from the guy. Youre able to smell his breath and make a move. I think thats a really cool quality he have."Pettis has also shown he can play the role of the extra receiver on the roster Carolina Panthers Hoodies Sweatshirts by taking on punt returns. He averaged 8.7 yards on four returns and also made four fair catches. An NCAA record setter with nine career punt return TDs, Pettis doesn't look to be as dangerous now as Velus Jones and likely would yield that duty but at least the Bears know they have an option. And it's one they could use because Jones is going to be used a lot on offense.
