Cutler ready to start over

mbt baratos, and not work much as a receiverThis has been an offseason of major change for the Chicago Bears, as the two faces most associated with the franchise over the last decade are gone.
Middle linebacker Brian Urlacher was allowed to become a free agent and then retired after 13 seasons,

Coach Lovie Smith was fired after the Bears missed the playoffs, finishing 10 6 after a 7 1 start.
Both moves were controversial, but it was clear Chicago's brass was ready for new leadership.
The Bears replaced Smith with an intriguing hire in Marc Trestman, who spent the last five years as coach of the Montreal Alouettes in the Canadian Football League and whose previous NFL experience was working with quarterbacks.
Now he'll get to work with Jay Cutler as the team's franchise quarterback plays for his next contract and works in his fourth offensive system as he begins his fifth season with the team.
"Jay's been in so many offenses recently; I've been totally impressed with how he's handling a little bit of new language, a little bit different way of looking at things,
mbt baratas," Trestman told news reporters during minicamp. "I think he's handled it extremely well."
Trestman has worked with Steve Young,

"His work ethic is unparalleled, as good as anybody I've ever been around,
mbt madrid," Trestman said of Cutler. "His details of the offense are as good as anybody I've been around. He's doing all the right things. It's not easy when you're starting over one more time."
Cutler expressed similar admiration for his new coach.
"He understands quarterbacks,
mbt zapatos, he understands working with them, how to protect quarterbacks," Cutler said. "He's not going to send you out there with plays that aren't going to work or plays that are going to work against some defenses and not others. He'll give you a lot of answers and make it simple enough that everyone else can understand it."
The challenge will be how quickly the Bears can get acclimated to what Trestman, who will call the plays, and offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer want to do.
"It's a three year process to learn an offense,
mbt zapatillas," Cutler said. "It takes time. It's hard to go out there Year One and blow the doors off. But we're trying to learn it the best we can in the time allotted."
Defensively, the Bears were fifth in total defense and were opportunistic in converting turnovers into points. Four of their losses were by eight points or fewer.
Running back
The top of the depth chart remains unchanged, with starter Matt Forte and backup Michael Bush. Forte had his third career 1,000 yard season last year despite battling through three sprains of his right ankle and returning from a knee injury suffered late in the 2011 season.
