Mike Martz Approval Rating: Round Two

I’m not ready to throw him under the bus but I would be curious to know how blitzers from Cutler’s blind side are being totally missed. O-line issue? Inadequate protection scheme? Maybe we can just get a watered-down Martz-fense for a couple of weeks and try running more.

He was considered an offensive genius at one time and I can’t believe he got stupid over night.
There are other, deeper problems with this team, a plethora of them in fact.
He can’t teach Omiyale to keep his head on a swivel and look for the corner blitz. Omiyale should know to do that by now.
Same thing with Cutler – he should already know to get rid of the ball before he gets blasted.
I feel certain that Martz has coached his players but they must be the ones to perform on the field.
They have not been up to potential.

I neither approve or disapprove. He’s doing exactly what I expected (stubbornly getting Jay flattened).

pitch a freakin tent, light a campfire and make a s’more before his coverage collapsed, our issue is the OLINE folks….JA needs to go, our oline sucked last year and we drafted no one? Traded for no one? Ummmm…hello????

…things take time, and when we have good games we tend to have GOOD games… so I think after some more time, we’ll get it all figured out.

I honestly never wanted him here in the first place because we’ve seen how his offense is when he doesn’t have Hall of Fame-era Orlando Pace, Marshall Faulk, Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. While they may have put up points they were never winning teams aside from his Rams teams and come on guys that was a decade ago. Lately he hasn’t done much and for me that says that without Hall of Fame talent he can’t have a great offense. BUT before I’m crucified here, he has done good things here this season and yes our O-Line is just God awful and that lies with Angelo. But I think that Martz needs to ease up on the stubborness. He knows this line is utterly incapable of allowing Jay to drop 7 steps back so he should incorporate other plays in order to move the ball. Once he stops sending out the franchise QB for tackling drills and starts doing things to help him stay upright, i’ll approve…… But then again no one here or at Halas cares about my approval. Go Bears!

He has done a good job for most of the year though. But he has to learn that he can’t have Cutler taking so many 7 step drops when the protection isn’t there.

When will he realize he just has no O-line and he needs to start running the ball?

its much better then turner for sure but the scheme doesnt work if you cant block and other teams know this.. there is enough evidence out there that martzs system is difficult.. the seasons far from over and perhaps a distilled version will have to be played out,, remember thats why martz got fired from other teams
just simplify and find a balance and im sure the bears know this if not its the end of the lovie boat..
