Cutler Spreads Blame from Week 8 Game

—> Bears QB Jay Cutler(notes) was beat up coming out of last Sunday's win against the Browns. He was sacked four times and spent much of the game on the run, leading to much criticism of his line.

Cutler deflected blame, saying, "It's a mixed bag. I've got to get rid of the ball. We've got to throw our hot (routes). It takes more than just the line blocking. It's all 11 guys."

The Bears reshuffled their rotation last week with Josh Beekman(notes) starting at left guard over Frank Omiyale(notes), but the results weren't promising. One problem is the Bears haven't done a good job of restocking the line. They've drafted just two linemen in the first five rounds over the past seven years.
