| Bears QB Jay Cutler Feels He's On The Same Page With Mike Martz | | |
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler didn't feel particularly comfortable initially about playing in the timing-based offensive scheme of new coordinator Mike Martz. Now fully immersed in the Xs and Os of the fast-break attack, Cutler says he and Martz "are on the same page with everything," and he expects to rebound from the "rough year" he experienced in 2009, a season in which the quarterback threw a league-high 26 interceptions. "It's been fun, it's been different," Cutler said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "We can see the potential of what we could possibly be in the future once we start getting games going." Prior to that, Cutler's vision seemed clouded with trepidation about how he'd perform in Martz's offense. Shortly before Martz became the club's offensive coordinator, he flew to Nashville to meet with Cutler. It didn't take long for the pair to click. "I picked him up from the airport and Mike is all ball all the time, which is fun," Cutler said. "We went over to Vandy and just got on the board. He was showing me a few things. I was bouncing some things off him. It was a good interaction; we went to dinner. It was very casual. I think we both felt comfortable with each other. We got everything kind of hashed out because I had some issues with the timing offense, and not being able to see things. It was a little bit of give and take. It's been really interesting working with him; a lot of fun. I'm with him every day up in his office for at least a couple of hours watching film, talking about things, and trying to take it on the field."
