Bears’ Cutler misses another practice

That was just between me and business, and I’d rather address that and handle that after the season when the time is permitted. So what are some of the changes that are impacting the team right now?

[MORE: Sherman understands Kyle Fuller’s confidence struggles]. He has a strong skill set. “We haven’t been very good on third down, we haven’t been real good in the red area”.

With Darrelle Revis, Antonio Cromartie and Calvin Pryor in the secondary and Muhammad Wilkerson providing the pass rush, don’t expect a breakout performance from the Eagles offence this week. I think I’ll be okay.

Not having a sack can’t help the coverage, but Fox shrugged off that issue.

That Josh McCown will resume as the Browns starter after passing the NFL’s concussion protocol will likely disappoint many Browns fans who believe Manziel is a franchise player in the making. That’s the position Carroll’s crew finds itself in after road losses to St. Louis and Green Bay. He had more time to pick out receivers.

The Seahawks and Bears have met 16 times, including twice in the playoffs.

Clausen will be thrown in at the deep end against the Seattle Seahawks. “But this week has been pretty good as far as my communication with both of them”. To come from behind against Indiana, you’ve got to be able to score.

“Every time we mess up, we’ve got to be on top of it”. Seahawks leads series, 10-4. In his senior season at Illinois State, he tied for the team lead with nine receiving touchdowns, including two in the FCS National Championship game. The teams haven’t met in the regular season since 2012 and in Seattle since 2009.

Jeffery was questionable last week with a hamstring but didn’t play, and Cutler is expected to miss a few weeks. However, Fox said he didn’t have a timetable for Cutler’s return.

He additionally wouldn’t say if Jimmy Clausen would begin for the Bears (Zero-2) towards the Seahawks (Zero-2). After defeating the Browns in week one they then impressed in defeating the Colts in week two, shutting down Andrew Luck and co.

Chris Johnson is back in the saddle again. And right now it’s easier (for defenses) to kind of focus on a couple of guys.

Bears kick coverage units will get no break this week facing Tyler Lockett. The Bears’ offense is going to suffer a lot of three-and-outs. We like moving him around and putting him in different spots. “Would it be less tough?”

Seattle is going to be fired up for this game.

The Bears were also without wide receiver Eddie Royal on Wednesday, as he deals with back and hip injuries.

I don’t believe that for a second, but I promise you that will be the narrative should Cutler start in Seattle.

Clausen is the Bears’ backup because beating out Shane Carden, Pat Devlin and Zac Dysert was a little less hard than throwing a football into Lake Michigan from the Oak Street Beach. Defensively, Seattle is allowing 30.5 points and 356.5 yards per game.

Offensively, Chicago must go with a conservative game plan with shorter drops, quick passes to the flanks and an emphasis on the run.

The Seattle Seahawks are also looking for their first victory of the year after a shocking start. And Clausen doesn’t have the strongest arm, anyway.

“His intelligence is off the charts, his attention to detail”, offensive coordinator Adam Gase said of Clausen. Josh McCown may be back in contention this week for the Browns after sitting out week two with a concussion but Jay Cutler of the Bears and the Saints’ Drew Brees are both now listed as questionable. Gilliam is 6-foot-5, 306 pounds, and McPhee is about 25 pounds lighter.

The Seattle Seahawks (0-2) are coming from a 27-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Trailing 28-14 late in the first half, the Bears were forced to settle for Robbie Gould field goals of 40 and 23 yards after taking over at the Arizona 22 and 12 following takeaways. He hasn’t had a play longer than 15 yards. They know a victor when they see one, and they don’t play games.

Clausen showed some of that growth last season when he made his first start since 2010.
