JAY CUTLER 2011 Statistics: Games Played: 10 Completions-Attempts: 182-314 Completion Percentage: 58% Passing Yards: 2,319 Touchdowns: 13 Interceptions: 7 QB Rating: 85.7 Analysis Last season, Cutler had to deal with a below-average offensive line and an offensive coordinator who called pass plays that had him running for his life, but still had a pretty impressive year. Cutler led the Bears to a 7-3 record through 10 games and had the team in prime position to make the playoffs. Unfortunately, a thumb injury ended Cutler’s season prematurely. Now, Cutler is back. He is ready for 2012 and expectations are sky-high. This season, he can look forward to new weapons on the perimeter: Brandon Marshall, his old pal from Denver, and rookie wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey. Both give Cutler big targets to throw to. With Cutler returning, the Bears have a great chance at a playoff birth in 2012.

Chicago Bears Wide Receivers Will Be a Nightmare for DBs

Via 60 Max Power O  |  August 01, 2012
After the first few days of practice, the Chicago Bears receiving corps has looked dominant. This is what the team's coaches and management was hoping for when they went out and brought in multiple weapons in the offseason. Brandon Marshall dominated every defensive back that lined up against him during drills on Sunday. However, corner Kelvin Hayden had him on lockdown,...

Jay Cutler to Have More Freedom in Chicago Bears Offense

Newly appointed Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Tice has been in constant contact with quarterback Jay Cutler throughout training camp thus far.   Tice, who was the team's offensive line coach for the past two seasons, has said he wants Cutler to indicate his 'likes' and 'dislikes' about the plays they run. He wants his quarterback to be comfortable...

Chicago Bears training camp notes: Day Five Wrap

Via Midway Illustrated  |  August 01, 2012
Shea McClellin should send a thank you card to Brian Price because Price's workout on Tuesday was bad enough that it knocked the rookie off the front page of Bears camp reports. Brian Price struggled mightily in his first full practice in pads with the Bears, raising early alarms about the young players skills.  The naysayers should relax a little, it was one practice and...

Rookie Shea McClellin has a ways to go

Via Midway Illustrated  |  July 31, 2012
If there's a sense that Shea McClellin is getting piled on by me writing this blog, then throw another log on the fire. I don't want to sound overly dramatic because there is plenty of that going around as well. There's no reason to panic because we're only four practices into camp and there's a long long ways to go. The best way to evaluate this is to say...

3 teams including the Chicago Bears that could use Tim Tebow

Via The Penalty Flag  |  August 02, 2012
Let’s just go ahead and fast forward to the good part of the New York Jets adding Tim Tebow to their roster this offseason.  Whether we want to admit it or not, it’s a known fact that Tebow and the Jets are not in a ‘til death do us part kind of commitment so inevitably the [...]

Too early to criticize McClellin

Bears first rounder Shea McClellin has participated in exactly four padded practices to this point, so the fever pitch surrounding his recent struggles is wildly premature.

Chicago Bears training camp note: J'Marcus Webb at LT for second day

Via Midway Illustrated  |  August 01, 2012
Boundless speculation will come out of today's practice as J'Marcus Webb is practicing ahead of Chris Williams at LT.   With Mike Tice saying earlier that Williams and Webb will split reps at LT and split days and Webb practicing with the first team for the second consecutive day, Tice is not sticking to his words. Further adding to the speculation is Chris Williams...

Early Signs Point To Bears OT J'Marcus Webb Beating Out Chris Williams?

Via GridironFans.com  |  August 01, 2012
The safety of Bears QB Jay Cutler is no joke and that is the focus of what is believed to be the only legitimate training camp battle for a starting job at Olivet Nazarene University. That competition took an unexpected turn Wednesday when Chris Williams, scheduled to practice with the starters at left tackle, was moved to right tackle. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice said Tuesday...

Illini Coach Tim Beckman Sings "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"; Shouldn't Quit Day Job

Via The Mark Graham Sports Blog  |  July 30, 2012
Just a couple of weeks ago I brought you a dreadful performance of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" by Bears QB Jay Cutler. Now it is University of Illinois football coach Tim Beckman's turn at the famous song. It wasn't a great performance, but it added more enthusiasm to it than Cutler did. Hopefully, Beckman and the Illini play with this enthusiasm during the...
