From David Kaplan's Around the Town column:
Newly elected Pro Football Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk had some choice comments about the Bears and the Mike Martz offense:
"In this offense if you run a slant and a defender is coming down on you then you have to cross his face," he said Tuesday on "Chicago Tribune Live."
"But every time I see Johnny Knox run a slant he goes behind the defender and you see an interception go the other way and everyone looks at Jay Cutler and says, 'How did he throw that pass?' That is going to be a mistake no matter who the quarterback is."
Marshall just says what I've been saying for two years now. The Bears have wide recievers that don't run correct routes and this makes Cutler look worse than he actually is. It got a little bit better this year but I think I heard a stat in the NFC Championship Game where passes directed towards Knox have resulted in the most interceptions in the NFL. This isn't some unusual stat. There's a reason for it.
