[Bears] Mike Martz Feels He Has A Strong Connection With QB Jay Cutler

The Chicago Bears and Mike Martz, interviewing for their offensive coordinator position, wanted to make sure the candidate and quarterback could work together. That connection didn't take long to establish, according to Martz, who officially got the job two days after that first meeting. "It's such a big thing to have a coordinator and a quarterback on the same page, obviously," Martz said Monday on "Carmen, Jurko & Harry" on ESPN 1000. "If there is any kind of ill will or ill feeling or just philosophically not on the same page, I don't care who it is, it's not going to work. "As talented as he is, it's important that he understands what whoever is going to run the offense is about, and of course I have got to have a good feeling about him. We had a good get-acquainted meeting. We hit it off immediately. I think there's a real strong connection, at least I felt that way. "Intellectually, he is just off the charts. His talent can never be overstated. He is really anxious. He's all about winning and doing things the right way."
