While Mathieu does not have any say in personnel decisions and in the end it would come down to how Bruce Arians felt about Jay Cutler and if Steve Keim could get him to the Arizona Cardinals for the right price, how would this go over?

"I'm listening in my helmet [when I'm not in there], so I'm getting a feel and a rhythm of the game that he's trying to call and obviously having gone through it mentally during the week, I have a pretty good feel for what his goal is for each play and that kind of thing", Hoyer said.

"I've said it before whether you're the starter, the backup, or the third guy you prepare every week like you're the starter", says Hoyer.

Jay Cutler started 15 games last season, missing only a Week 3 contest against the Seahawks. I've been able to watch that.

Hoyer had experience with a slow start last season, when he helped lead Houston into the playoffs. The team lost their Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles 29-14.

A few things jump out here; Wentz was a flawless 8-for-8 against the blitz in the season opener against the Browns and for Scott to suggest that any college team could beat even the lowly Cleveland Browns is laughable. He played reasonably well in garbage time, completing nine of 12 passes for 78 yards and a respectable 91.7 passer rating.

New England Patriots: Jimmy Garoppolo looking strong
The New England Patriots' 23-21 Week One win Sunday night over the Arizona Cardinals was impactful for some reasons. You get to watch so many different angles and replays and you don't get those things when you're playing.

Bears coach John Fox did not rule him out of Sunday's clash with the Dallas Cowboys when he spoke to the press on Tuesday, but NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday that the 33-year-old could miss as many as three weeks. But it's a long season. "I think Philly is still without committing a turnover".

The modern National Football League features legislation specifically created to protect quarterbacks from injury - as long as they show the proper instincts to get rid of the ball quickly and not force the action.

"I think any quarterback, I don't care what status they are, will tell you the running game is one of their best friends, " Fox said.

"[It's] there yet, because really these are the first reps that I'm making with Alshon", Hoyer said. "Deonte [Thompson] nearly got home on that call".

The Bears will turn to veteran journeyman Brian Hoyer for at least the next two games.

"Eddie bought himself enough time". "You see him get the ball out of his hands extremely fast, and they're not getting to the quarterback, defenses aren't getting there, just because of that".
