After Tuesday’s OTAs, Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte said that he will be used more in the team's passing game, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. ‘‘I think it’s more challenging for me personally,’’ Forte said. ‘‘I have to learn more than just what the ‘H’ does. I’ve got to learn what the ‘F’ does and where he lines up. I may have a situation where I line up as a receiver and I have to learn the receiver routes as well.’’ ‘‘I expect it to be balanced — establish the run first and get into the passing game,’’ Forte said. ‘‘There’s a lot of routes that the running back has, even a fullback and tailback. The ball is going to be spread around pretty well.’’ Last season, it seemed the Bears didn’t know how to use Forte. General manager Phil Emery is on the record as saying he wasn’t ‘‘fully utilized,’’ Forte’s production, especially in the passing game, decreased, and nagging injuries made things worse. But Trestman will find ways to change that, he said earlier this offseason that Forte has the ‘‘full spectrum of what you want out of a running back.’’ Forte, meanwhile, said it’s exciting seeing where new players such as Bennett and left tackle Jermon Bushrod fit into the offense, too. ‘‘We’ve had a lot of playbooks come through,’’ Forte said. ‘‘But I like this offense. I’m pretty excited about the upcoming season.’’ Source: The Redzone
