Hub Arkush: Bears don't look sharp in loss

First the good news. Marc Trestman, Jay Cutler and Josh McCown all agreed leading up to the first preseason game in Carolina that the most important thing they needed to do was get the calls in from the sideline and called in the huddle correctly, get everybody lined up in the right spot and get the ball snapped in rhythm.


Mission accomplished. The Bears had no problems running Trestman's offense, and that is significant for a first preseason game with a new coaching staff.


Unfortunately, that's where the good news stopped as the Bears didn't execute the offense very well, they failed to take care of the football, turning it over four times in the first three quarters, and the defense was mediocre at best.


You will be tempted to overreact to the fact that Cutler was intercepted on the Bears' first offensive play and you shouldn't.
