    When Aaron Kromer came to the Bears as offensive coordinator and offensive line coach under Marc Trestman, it was notable perhaps what he identified as the first priority of the new Bears coaching staff.

    It was not the automatic “fix” of the offensive line and its pass blocking. It was starting behind that group.

    “The quarterback throwing the ball quickly or picking it up and changing the protection scheme, that’ll be the No. 1 thing we’ll do as a group,” Kromer said.

    “The No. 2 thing is, coaching the offensive line, it’s important that we have some blocking schemes taken care of in the running game that will be the biggest advantage to us. I’ll start there and Marc and the skill group will start developing routes and we’ll come together as a staff and make sure we all agree on everything that’s done.”

    The work on the centerpiece of that first priority -– the modified makeover of quarterback Jay Cutler –- has been going on now for some months. It has not always gone exactly the way members coaching staff laid it out.

    And they are more than fine with that.

    “Whatever it is, he’d better buy into it and we’d better have the answers,” quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh told CSNChicago.com. “We don’t expect him to change everything he’s doing just because we said so. We want him to ask questions.

    The number one priority: The QB throwing the ball quickly.

    The number 2 priority: Coaching the offensive line.

    So much for the excuse that all of jay's problems were caused by the o-line. Obviously he has some serious deficiencies the coaching staff is trying to address.

    Also like the part where kromer says jay "he's better buy into it." I swear if Mike Tice had said that, jay would have fired him on the spot.

    Looks like the days of jay running the offense are over.
