Cutler Learning the Ropes

Jay Cutler is getting used to the Chicago Bears’ system, and it seems like he is already fitting in nicely. The Bears employ a West Coast offense similar to what Cutler is already used to, meaning he won’t have quite as steep of a learning curve before the start of the season.

Cutler said, “It’s a lot of the same formations and protections. It’s just little things that I’ve got to get used to. But overall it’s gone really well and it’s really similar. We did a lot of [different] formations in Denver and I think that Ron likes to do kind of the same stuff here and put guys in different spots and create match-ups that way. The run game’s going to be a little bit better here, so that’s definitely going to help… We’ve got a lot of weapons here. Coming from Denver, we had a lot of weapons out there. It’s similar with Greg [Olsen] and  Dez [Clark] at the tight end position, and then you’ve got Devin [Hester], Earl [Bennett], Rashied [Davis] and Brandon Rideau, so it’s good. And we’ll get some of the rookies in here and see if they can add a little bit of depth for us.”

Some have wondered how Cutler will do with the targets in Chicago, and it appears as if he is already finding which receivers he will use as his favorite targets. See him play this season with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
