Cutler Recognizes the Vital
In a recent article on Yahoo.com Charles Robinson quotes Jay Cutler as saying:
“We’re going to run the ball,” Cutler said. “I think I’ve learned the hard way [that] you’ve got to run the ball and you have to stop the run to get anywhere in this league and make the playoffs and make a push for the Super Bowl. That’s not going to change, especially here in December with the wind and the weather. You’re going to have to be able to grind out those four- and five-yard runs.”
It is great that Cutler recognizes the Bears philosophy, and almost equally as important is that the Bears keep that philosophy. Running, and stopping the run is so important not for what it is, but because it will allow Cutler the most opportunities to win games.
With Pace, Williams, Kreutz, and Forte, the Bears should be in good standing to make this philosophy work on the offensive side of the ball. The question marks at defense, and receiver unfortunately still remain.
