The book is out on the Bears’ offense. With few exceptions (see: Falcons, Atlanta), teams are choking out the vertical passing game by playing zone coverages to keep a top on the defense. They’re challenging the Bears to patiently work the ball down the field without making a mistake, which they’re consistently failing to do.
What’s so confusing about why the Bears aren’t successful in doing that is that’s the very essence of the West Coast offense — a controlled, short passing attack that takes what the defense gives to you.
Yet Cutler seems to get antsy and resort to his default setting, which is to stare down his primary receiver. It seems like every week an opponent points out the obvious about Cutler. This week it was Reshad Jones, who intercepted Cutler.
“After watching film all week, we saw he was looking where he threw the ball,” Jones said. “He was always looking at his receivers and never looking off. I tried to take advantage of that, and it paid off.”
There’s enough data out there to show that regardless of the coaching, these plays can’t be eliminated from Cutler’s repertoire.

The Bears balance the field in a four wide 2×2 set with Cutler in the shotgun and Forte offset to his right. The play is designed to clear out the Flat area on the left side (Holmes Go route), with Bennett filling that void for the first down catch. The Dolphins are playing Cover 2 Man, therefore the left CB (Finnegan) should carry Holmes on his Go route.
However, the Dolphins are utilizing a “trap” technique for their cornerbacks on the play. Finnegan will read the route of the #2 receiver (Bennett), if he runs up the Seam, Finnegan will stay vertical with Holmes on his Go route. But with Bennett stemming his route outside at about 7 yards, Finnegan will release Holmes to the FS (Jones) and squeeze inside to take away the Out route from Bennett.
This is where Reshad Jones’ quote about Cutler locking on his receivers comes into play. Cutler stares down Bennett throughout his route, making it even easier for Finnegan to read the Quarterback’s eyes and Jones can forget about Holmes streaking down the sideline as he breaks on the throw.
Cutler is actually lucky the pass sailed on him because Finnegan would have been right there for a Pick 6 if the throw was on target to Bennett. Jones does a great job securing the catch and keeping his arms under the ball as he falls to the ground.
