Bears Were Outcoached in Second Half..........

I'll add another reason here why we failed to adjust in the second half and it also has to do with KW and his failure to grasp the scheme and his assignments.  As I outlined in another thread this has caused Cutler to lose trust in him and decide not to throw to him in any type of a risky manner.  So once again White's utility is severely limited by this as are Cutler's options.

The best way to have beaten that pass rush is with quick slants over the middle since Houston was stacking the box to stop the run and and sending their OLBs instead of dropping them in coverage.  That left the middle open and covered only by the Safeties one of which was already doubling AJ and the NB was covering Royal when he was on the field.

KW is the perfect guy to be running those quick slants. With his size and his speed no Safety can cover him and he could easily break through the short coverage for a long gain or a TD. The only problem is Cutler and Loggains still can't trust him enough to run those routes with the precision and ability needed to adjust to the coverage or the throw so they more than likely never ended up on the play call list because we never ran them even though it was the obvious counter to what Houston was doing.  It's lack of trust in White and it's hurting the offense.

Cutler isn't gonna throw bullet slant pass to a receiver he can't trust to run his route correctly or hold onto the ball.  Those crossing routes are thrown right into the danger zone for a turnover and the timing has to be precise or the pass ends up in the hands of a DB and not the WR.  If KW doesn't read and run the route correctly or doesn't finish it it's a pick.  That happened twice early in the season with Bennett last year and both times it ended with picks that were on MB but of course Cutler takes the heat for them.  I'm sure he hasn't forgotten those and at this point in time White is even more undisciplined and less dependable than Marty was.
