Cutler is catching absolute hell since being seen on camera bumping and berating tackle J’Marcus Webb in the team's Thursday night Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
A new critic of Cutler’s has surfaced since now since Friday. Former Bears defensive end Adewale Ogunleye has now joined in on the Cutler bashing.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Ogunleye was on the Mully & Hanley Show Friday when he chimed in.
“But if you live in a glass house, you can’t throw any stones. So the way I am looking at the game, no one is yelling at Jay when he is throwing the ball (four) times to their defenders. And you’ve got to have some sense of accountability. At the end of the day, you start losing the the respect of the offensive line when publicly you’re bumping people and yelling at them in their face. I don’t think it is the right thing to do.
“To go and bump another player, you know the only reason Jay Cutler can bump on offensive lineman and not get his butt beat is because he is the star quarterback of the Chicago Bears. If this is in the street, and you bump a man that is 300 pounds, Jay is in serious trouble.
“The team is going to have to police itself. Maybe Brian (Urlacher) will have to say something. The more you yell at them, the more pressure you are putting on your own teammate.”
Ogunleye cut even deeper by suggesting Cutler could learn some things from New England Patriots' Tom Brady and Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning.
Poor Jay.
