LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- New Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz just shared some insight on the whole hiring process during a conference call with Chicago media members. "Lovie was very clear from the beginning this was going to take time for him to go through step by step," Martz said. "He did it the right way, especially since he got the job done. He was very clear about this from the very beginning." Martz detailed his meeting with Jay Cutler last week in Nashville, where in addition to having dinner, to two had some serious football related discussions. The coach even drew up a play meant to beat a Cover 2 defense on a blackboard for Cutler to analyze. "It went even better than anticipated," Martz said. "We are on the same page on so many things. He is so far ahead [in the way he sees things]. We enjoyed each other's company." On the topic of running this offense, Martz said will be pragmatic in his approach, and will analyze the Bears' personnel to take advantage of talent already on the roster. "They've got some real speed [at wide receiver].," Martz said. "The match-ups on these guys will be extreme." Report
