John Fox to Bears

I was very frustrated with Fox in Carolina and obviously Elway was too here in Denver.  IMO, you can be a very good team under Fox, but you'll never be a great team under Fox. BUT, with that said, Fox and his mentality may be exactly what the Bears need right now. We've seen the Bears and Cutler trying to be a high flying offense. It didn't work. I think Cutler can be successful in a Fox system of pounding the rock and using the run and play action to setup the pass. Fox is a ball control coach, but he does like to setup the big play downfield with the run and Cutler and those WRs are perfect for that. If Cutler and those WRs can accept putting the ball in the air 25-30 times instead of 40+, it can work. Can Cutler and Marshall accept that though? Hell, can management accept that when they're paying Cutler like he's the second coming of Joe Montana?

    • Karlaftis and Danna have been pretty inconsistent so teams have been doubling Jones and able to contain their pass rush.   But the good thing is that yesterday, we schemed well against Steve Spags Defense, Canales married the surrounding personnel with his QB through play designs within his comfort zone and was able to get downfield at will.  He was able to execute higher difficulty throws and look a lot more comfortable.  It tells me that Canales has a good system in mind, and had an edge gameplanning wise against Spagnuolo - which is nice to see.  It's a bit to see-saw at times with either going way too pass heavy or way too run heavy, but I think he's finding out what works.  It takes time to have it come together, and sure, I could see regression happen against a better front-7, but this was good for the entire system gelling.    
    • This was evident first two weeks of season. I don’t see any issues with physical tools since he came back. I think he is a player that must play with confidence to overcome those size limitations and he’s doing that.  
    • Still 3-10 on passes over 15 yards.  At least he's not scared to merely attempt them anymore.  Where I see improvement is the 10-15 yard range.  He was 6-6.  Bryce of old was scatter shot on anything beyond 10 yards and the further out, the worse the accuracy.
