Aromashodu Sticking Up for Cutler

by Dane Noble on Dec 23, 2009 11:04 AM CST in News

In a QB/ WR marriage that was bound to happen at some point, Devin Aromashodu and Jay Cutler have finally had a couple of weeks to see how well they work together.

In the game against Green Bay, the results were pretty good, but last week, not as much.

Aromashodu talked about Cutler, and the game film from last week.

Cutler's final pass of the game was intercepted by Foxworth. The pocket broke down and Cutler moved to his left before throwing too short for Aromashodu. There was nothing he could have done to break the pass up. But it was another example of the quarterback and a young receiver not being on the same page when it comes to scramble rules.

"That was kind of a busted play,'' Aromashodu said. "Looking over the film, we went over it, I should have stretched the field a little bit more. I should have gone vertical on that, and once again that is on me."

It will be interesting to see how much playing time Aromashodu will get should Devin Hester return against the Vikings. But we know that Cutler probably wants to see him on the field.

Someone on this website mentioned something after the Green Bay game that I thought was very interesting (I don't remember who said it)... they said that Cutler throwing to Aromashodu the first two plays of the game may have been his way of communicating to the Bears that he really wants to see the kid more.

I didn't watch the game

but having Foxworth pick off two passes is indicative on how this season has gone down the crapper. Based on what I read, it seems Turner’s predictability has cause many Ints, but Cutler has got to make adjustments/reads to his other receivers.

"But it doesn't matter what I do, what I choose. I'm what's wrong. This is fate" - Dexter season 4....I mean Lovie season 6.

very true

Cutler is as much to blame as Turner. I love Jay and know that with the right crew he’ll once again be a beast, but his confidence in his play-caller is shot and his decision-making has gotten even worse because of a lack of confidence. Jay has never had great decision-making but now it’s completely shot.

It's funny

That some of these Bears network channels barely mentions Turner f**ing up way before Cutler even comming here.I was one of the few that was saying that the only thing I was worried about was Turner sucking. And what does he do? He sucked worse than he ever sucked before. I thought that Jay will struggle it wouldn’t suprise me 1st year with new (idiot) coaches new WRs (who lack talent and experience) it wouldn’t suprise me if he struggled (25 INTs was a suprise) but I never thought that we couldn’t run the ball and that our line will suck so bad. I wanted Turner idiot self gone after that superbowl year but of course that wouldn’t happen.

When you are at home and know what the bears are going to do in DETAIL (what pattern or route) then its time to kick Turner and all the whole offensive coaching staff to the curb.

I'm at a loss...

Its pretty bad when the most confident guy in the world loses his mo jo. Please don’t ruin another qb like we did Grossman!

agree

I think the greatest failing of our current coaching staff is the inability to develop talent, and in fact to degrade it.

Absolutely right on target as to why this entire staff has to go.

It’s for this reason that, if they don’t do a total housecleaning, I’m more willing to give Angelo a second chance than Lovie and his crew.

I would agree..

I don’t care if Angelo comes back, look at the bright side, we could have Al Davis running around scaring small children! Otherwise, bring out the broom dustpan and firing squad for the rest of the staff.

I like Aromashodu, and think he can be more than just a guy.

Him and the rest of the receivers just need a off-season together with Jay to work on the scamble rules.

Couldn't agree more...

I know its tough to even think this but this is the first time in a LONG time I am actually excited about the skills positions on the offense. Cutler, Forte, DA, Knox, Bennett, Olsen and (with an intelligent O.C.) I think Hester could be utilized as a serious offensive weapon. The best part is they are all young and need time to grow with each other, just not under Ron Turner. The o-line is in a serious need of an overhaul. The defense, I don’t know, it just hasn’t been right since Rivera left… so that may be the answer there. I think this is growing pains for a potentially dangerous team, if the proper steps are taking.
