LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- As Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman meticulously perused game film from the first eight weeks of the season during the bye week, one thing that emerged is the possibility of using Jay Cutler more on the move.

“We’ve talked about all of that over the bye week, and how we can do some different things for him to help him,” Trestman said. “We’ll continue to work on that, and see how that goes in the second half.”

That’s not to say the Bears plan to install zone-read types of schemes that would expose Cutler to unnecessary punishment. But Cutler does possess more athleticism than he’s generally given credit for, which makes the club employing more moving pockets and rollout passes somewhat of an interesting prospect.

As erratic as Cutler can be, he’s been fairly accurate under duress this season -- believe it or not. So allowing Cutler to throw on the move shouldn’t be a difficult adjustment for the quarterback. Headed into the Week 9 games, Cutler ranked as the fourth-most accurate quarterback in the NFL when under pressure behind Ben Roethlisberger, Carson Palmer and Tony Romo.

Cutler completes 53.5 percent of his passes while under pressure.

Trestman explained the potential benefits of moving around a quarterback and the challenges such a strategy presents to opposing defenses.

“I think it has a residual effect on a lot of different things: the pass rush, on the passing spot, on how it applies to your run game,” Trestman said. “Because a lot of times when you’re moving the pocket, it’s relative to a play-action fake or movement of some kind where you’re faking a run, and you’re moving outside the pocket. So there’s a residual effect on pass rush and in the run game when you can do those kinds of things.”

We’ll know at Lambeau Field on Sunday whether A) The Bears can get Cutler throwing balls on the move, and B) Whether the strategy works against the Green Bay Packers’ defense.
