madlithuanian Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...utlers-release/ Trestman tries to speed up Cutler’s release Posted by Mike Florio on June 14, 2013, 10:48 PM EDT AP Sure, plenty of Jay Cutler’s 148 sacks during his time in Chicago have arisen from less-than-stellar blocking. But Cutler could have helped himself by getting rid of the ball more quickly. New coach Marc Trestman hopes to make that happen. As explained by Jeff Dickerson of ESPNChicago.com, Trestman has been using a “verbal running clock” (which may or may not have included “Mississippis”) whenever Cutler and the team’s other quarterbacks take reps in 11-on-11 or seven-on-seven drills. “I just want them to have a sense of urgency up there making the calls, assessing the defense, those types of things,” Trestman said, via Dickerson. “We’ll have a clock in training camp so it will be easier on the voice. But I want them to get to the line of scrimmage. It’s like any other quarterback in the league, time is of the essence. We’ve got a lot of work to do before the snap. It’s the same everywhere. We just want to make sure we have that sense of urgency with every single play.” Quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh was more candid. Which could get him bumped by Cutler, if Cavanaugh isn’t careful. “One of the things we emphasized when we got here was that we wanted to protect the quarterback,” Cavanaugh said. “Protecting the quarterback isn’t just the line’s responsibility, or the protectors, it’s the quarterback’s responsibility too. He can’t hold onto the ball forever.” While Cutler has said it takes three years to install a new offense, this seems to be the one aspect that he needs to figure out quickly, in more ways than one.

Mongo3451 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Good! I hope they drill it through Cutler's thick head so he doesn't learn the hard way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'TD' Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Good! I hope they drill it through Cutler's thick head so he doesn't learn the hard way. The hardway hasn't worked yet. Had it for years here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Exactly what I was hoping for. See it, read it, throw it even if it isn't to Brandon Marshall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesson44 Posted June 16, 2013 Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Exactly what I was hoping for. See it, read it, throw it even if it isn't to Brandon Marshall. Well I see more passes thrown quicker due more targets other than Marshall on the field. With Bennett at TE and Forte being used more at RB in this new passing game we will see a spreading out of the targets since maybe Jeffrey and Bennett staying healthy and a few new targets...i.e the new FB can add in the quest to pass......we can move the chains better.

bowlingtwig Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Exactly what I was hoping for. See it, read it, throw it even if it isn't to Brandon Marshall. I've heard reports from camp saying that jay has been looking martellus's way a lot so far to this point hoping to be able to read each others minds. I'm hopefully we will finally see cutler take down several franchise passing marks by end of season. Here's hoping at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
