Jay Cutler trucks Colts defender to score

Unfortunately, the play was negated by a penalty called against starting right tackle Charles Leno. Gore leads a group of Colts running backs that includes last year’s workhorse “Boom” Herron, plus Zurlon Tipton and rookies Josh Robinson, Tyler Varga and Abou Toure. “There are some growing pains that come with that, but he definitely improved over last week [against the Dolphins]-not that last week’s performance was bad”. The Chicago Bears have no choice but to rely on him since they are tied to him with a large salary cap hit attached.

“I told our team we’re not coming here to have a bar room brawl – and If we want to do that, we can stay down in Florida”, Philbin said. “Obviously I didn’t like the way we started a week ago”. “We’re shifting some guys in there, some guys are getting some work with the ones, and some of the threes are getting work with the twos, so it’s a good thing we’re seeing everybody right now”.

Before we get into the constructive criticisms, let’s take a moment to look at the silver lining.

“I understand the learning curve when you jump to the pros.”The defense showed me something that we all should have seen”. 8-6, Indy. Now, kick back and get ready for…backups and fringe NFL prospects.

Cutler decided to keep it himself on third and goal and powered his way all the way to the one-yard line before losing is helmet and being taken down. He’s definitely one of the best quarterbacks in this league. Even though they were down from the first game, they drove home an endless problem: Any flag that moved the Bears back seemed to ensure the drive wouldn’t finish in the end zone and sometimes wouldn’t last more than another play. “I think they showed good progress and good confidence building in practice”, said Fox. Good night for him. Houston was credited with one assisted tackle.

After allowing Andrew Luck to be pressured on the first two pass plays of the game and then reliving that experience all over again in the film room, Mewhort uttered the words everyone outside the team facility wanted to hear. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo, Indy’s best lineman, blew an early assignment that forced Luck to throw the ball away on another third down.

Langford, No. 3 on the depth chart, had Chicago’s two most spectacular plays of the night.

The Bears scored two third-quarter touchdowns, however.

Said Pagano to his young receivers, “Use this guy”.

By all accounts he has the physical tools to play the style of man-coverage that Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio prefers, but it’s risky to assume Ball will immediately hold down a starting gig when considering his somewhat limited history as a starter.

“I always talk about how Frank has low center of gravity, but he’s still got that low pad level, so he can run over you”.

But perhaps the biggest helper Luck received this offseason is Phillip Dorsett; a pure burner who should pair with T.Y. To compound the error, Fuller was flagged 15 yards for taunting, as he got into it with Hilton after the play.

The Bears have three players in particular that one should focus on tonight. Ballard missed the 2013 season with a knee injury and suffered an Achilles injury during training camp previous year. The team struggled with penalties and in pass protection in the first half, but Cutler did a nice job of moving around in the pocket and finding his receivers down the field.
