Regardless of how you feel about Bears QB Jay Cutler, you must admit that protecting him is one of the keys to turning this season around. But how do they do that?
Forget for a minute that Cutler may hold onto the ball too long—his coordinator, Mike Martz actually encourages that to allow the routes to develop—no QB in history could be successful without blocking in front of him.

Cutler got sacked 52 times during the regular season last year, and has already been sacked 14 times this year, the most of any QB in the league.
