Kyle Adams, tight end (Shiver): "He's from Purdue and you can see that he's going for it. That guy is a bulldog. Again, he could have looked at the numbers but he didn't. He just comes to work every day. He has ability but he's going to give you everything he has. He's aggressive. He has instincts for it. The sky's the limit for him.''

They need more undrafted rookies on this team.

Can someone explain why Jay Cutler isn't using his feet inside the 10 yard line? Cutler barely moved on three pass attempts near the end of the half, and he made two risky passes before a throwaway on third down.

-- Dane Sanzenbacher is starting to remind me of Cris Carter. All he does is score touchdowns.

High praise. Dane could have had 2 TDs today if his QB would have been a little more accurate. A TD every week is a good way to start.

Sanzenbacher catches 2nd TD pass
September, 25, 2011

Chicago Bears receiver Dane Sanzenbacher caught his second touchdown pass of the season Sunday in the 27-17 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and the rookie from Ohio State is establishing a strong chemistry with quarterback Jay Cutler.

"It's one of those things that can only come with game experience," Sanzenbacher told CSN Chicago. "You can take as many practice reps as you want, but the more you're out there in the game, the more comfortable you feel with everybody, not only Jay, but the receivers, and you just form that chemistry."

Sanzenbacher was second on the team with a five catches for 27 yards. He was third with seven targets.

He scored with 8:12 left in the second quarter after Green Bay had built a 14-0 lead.

"It's one of those plays that you draw up early in the week, hoping that you get a certain look on it," he told CSN. "Early in the progression, the read is there, so we knew if we had that little in route there in the middle it would be relatively open."

But the Bears' offense, especially the running game, couldn't keep up with the Packers. Penalties, interceptions and dropped passes also affected the passing attack.

"We can get big plays here and there, but finding that rhythm is going to be our challenge," Sanzenbacher said. "The good thing is I think it's small things. It's always one or two little things that stop those drives. I don't have any question that we'll get those cleaned up."

One of the few bright spots in the Bears' erratic passing game has been Dane Sanzenbacher. But even the rookie wide receiver from Ohio State realizes the team needs better run-pass balance to win consistently.

"In any offense, you want to have a good balance because they play off each other," Sanzenbacher said Monday at Halas Hall. "So we know as receivers that the more we can do in the passing game, the more it is going to open up for Matt (Forte) and the running game."

"It has been big for the receivers to be on the same page as Jay," Sanzenbacher said. "I think in an offense when there is so much information being thrown out, it's complex for anybody, even if you've been with the offense for a while. So not only on the field, talking and communicating in practice... just always being in his ear ...and all the quarterbacks...just trying to get those lines of communication, because with any offense or any team, the more chemistry you can build, the more your guys are on the same page."

Sanzenbacher has caught nine passes for 66 yards and two TDs in the first three games.

"It's a league where you have to take advantage of your opportunities when your number is called," he said. "They expect you to make the play. The one thing that has been great about being here and this coaching staff and everything is that if they put you on the field they trust you to make those plays. So you can't really second-guess yourself when you?re out there. If you?re targeted, you have to catch the ball."

He is going to be their MVP this year if he keeps it up. A smart young player who knows how things work. No deer in the headlights look for #18. Go out there and make the plays and "play to win the game".
