Jay Cutler will miss a start against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday due to the beat-up he faced at the Meadowlands last Sunday. Cutler will be back. The question is, how healthy will he be? He is recovering from a concussion. The Bears pass protection needs quick improvement or else Cutler may be fearing for his personal safety.
This is the way defenses will probably attack the Bears. Swarm the quaterback. All hands on deck. If Cutler can release the ball quickly and find the receiver open in stride, the Bears may get a quick six points. It's like playing against the Bears famed '46 defense. The Bears had the talent to master it and send offenses moving backwards. Quaterbacks feared for their lives. The Bears were sack happy back then.
I am sure that the Bears are working on how to counter this strategy. It would help if the coaching staf come up with a solution because that is what they are going to face.
