Cutler Getting Familiar with the Bears Offense

Cutler_medium

I have to admit: I'm mostly posting this because I am tired of hearing about Brett Favre, so I thought I'd fight back with some Cutler. Really, who cares if the Vikings get Favre (which his agent is denying anyway)? We got Cutler, you lose!

Back to the post. This article is just a quick one on Cutler getting a grasp on our offense, in all its complex glory. 

“Jay’s a pro,” Hamilton said. “He’s very sharp. He’s picking it up extremely well. After we finish our offseason workout sessions out on the field, he spends extra time here not just studying the playbook but spending time with coach Turner going through the [videotape] cutups from last year.

“A lot of the pass concepts are somewhat universal. It’s just a matter of him getting acclimated to the verbiage that we use within our system. Probably the biggest transition for Jay is just learning the rules for the protections and some of the intricacies of how our reads and progressions are in the offense.”

The Bears system is similar to the one that Cutler operated in Denver. Last season the 6-3, 233-pounder was voted to the Pro Bowl after completing 62.3 percent of his passes for a Broncos-record 4,526 yards with 25 touchdowns, 18 interceptions and an 86.0 rating.

Thanks

I used to be a bit of a Healthnut musclehead while in the Corps and after, until I had one of those “my life flashed before my eyes” momments. After getting out of Physical Therapy, threw away the meds and the fog cleared from my head they caused, I realized I’d been denying myself to many of lifes little pleasures. So now if something is bad for you and you dont see me standing in line for it, its probably because I’ve already done/eaten it, twice! (hey you can take the Devildog out of the Corps but you cant take the Corps out of the Devildog)

Dear Mr. Householder,

We’d love to hire you, but Rasheid Davis beat you to the punch. We think he has a feeling he might be out of a job shortly.

And WCG can’t hold the camera bag either, that’s why we have Bob Babich.

Sincerely,

Because as far as we're concerned, there is still no team in the history of the NFL that could beat the '85 Bears.

Dr. Mr. Householder,

Apparently, Mr. Davis holds onto a camera the way he holds onto a ball and has cost our organization a few hundred dollars. When can you start?

Also, please do bring WCG with you. It turns out that Babich is to busy getting Coach Smith coffee to hold the bag.

Cordially,

Thank you Gents

It’s a cool name, lots of random nickname things I can do (The House Always Win) but there are a couple downsides, people still ask to spell it even when I say “Just like it sounds,” some people think it’s a fake name. And it doesn’t flow so well with a lot of first names, IMO any way.
