Bears QB Cutler, WR Jeffery questionable for Raiders game
Adam Gase savored the grand visions that spun through his mind.
But Cutler is living up to his reputation as a quick healer.
Drafted with the No. 7 pick, White was proving to be as good as advertised. The quarterback is 1-10 in his career as a starter, though he could get wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey back, who was limited in practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games.
“It’s going to be the highlight of my life,” he said.
Jay Cutler is considered day-to-day ahead of Week 4. In his rookie season he put up 21 touchdowns to 12 interceptions, albeit in a 3-13 season.
The Bears host the Oakland Raiders in an interconference matchup on Sunday. The Bears’ 2015 first-round pick remains behind a tall chain-link fence with nothing but an artist’s rendering to depict the future. The three are home-grown emerging stars who have quickly gone from unproven draft picks to possible foundation pieces for the rebuilding franchise.
Last week, rookie back Jeremy Langford didn’t see a single snap for the first time this season.
He’s trending towards starting after splitting reps with backup Jimmy Clausen, but with Bushrod and Jeffery out it could be wise to hold Cutler for one more week. Not only because of the trade of Allen, but also because he’s healthy.
NOTHING SPECIAL: The Bears keep getting stung by big returns. “So throughout it all, I think John was pretty steady”.
The last game in which the Raiders were favored was against the Eagles two years ago.
The Raiders carved up the Cleveland Browns in their 27-20 win last weekend, building a 17-point lead and holding on. Fangio found it in the game’s first play. They grabbed Cooper this year. “And yet his quickness and speed are things you always have to pay respect to”.
If you are going to beat the Pats it will have to be at their best.
“He has the total package”. The question is how good will Derek Carr be?
The Raiders retained possession and marched down the field for a touchdown.
“I spend a lot of time studying film”, he says. Walker only played 11 games over two seasons and never played a down of professional football after, another Raiders bust. His chemistry with Carr is obvious. They have injury problems at other key areas and are ranked last in many important offensive and defensive categories. They have the best odds of winning their divisions. They don’t have to work through a lot of differences in what they prefer and how they operate.
Fox underwent an aortic heart valve replacement November 4, 2013, and returned to the Broncos four weeks later. Simms knew he wasn’t alone with how he felt. “We saw it obviously these last two games”. Raiders teammate Charles Woodson invoked the name of Jerry Rice in the way Cooper attacks every single route.
He responded “we’ll see” when asked if he will play against the Raiders.
As Cooper charges on, White will remain a spectator, his itch to return intensifying.
“Bears fans are loyal and they’re great“, said outside linebacker Lamarr Houston, a former Raider. The Bears didn’t bite on him, preferring to stick with Rex Grossman and instead took Cedric Benson.
Carr is using the depth of his receivers to spread defences out more, as well.
But, McShay insists, White’s size, speed and drive can’t be forgotten simply because his National Football League debut has been delayed. “I thought the offensive line did a really nice job”.
