It appears the Bears are starting to learn how to treat a franchise Quarterback 3 and a half years after trading for him. You sit Mike Martz in a corner with a headset that doesn't work, let Mike Tice call some plays, and protect your QB's backside.
All week long we heard Jay Cutler script out the Bears gameplan to the point that that you realized the man that is known for dating a girl from the OC is now the Bears new OC. Mike Martz may have official coordinator title, but this franchise took a huge step by employing the gameplan they did against the Vikings.
What was more impressive is it seemed like Martz wasn't very involved in the offensive gameplan on Sunday night. All week you heard Jay talk about working with Tice on protection packages, then after the game Cutler went on to thank everyone, including the first 10 rows in the stands, but no mention of Mike Martz. During the game we supposedly heard Jay yell to his QB coach to tell Martz to go F himself.
Sure the beats offense wasn't flashy, and I'll even include the 40 some odd pass to Devin Heater in this statement, it wasn't what anyone thought we would have with Martz here, but this I the offense that will work in Chicago. This is the kind of offense that will keep our franchise quarterback alive, and showcase the talents of our teams best player, Matt Forte.
Look I would love to have that high flying, high scoring, Greatest Show on Turf offense, but face it, we don't have the offensive line, wide receivers, or quarterback designed for that system. Till we do, let's line up double tight end, let's hammer the ball down throats and get big plays off the play action pass. It's a no-brainier to me.
