What happened on Thirsday wasn't that. It was a LT that simply got beaten by a better player physically. Not much a guy can do when he is up against a superior player, and when the OC doesnt slide some help over, its hard to blame the player. Cutler got on a guy who was already down because of his limited abilities vs Matthews.
That's the difference and that's why Cutler is looked upon as a very poor leader.
Also, i would say that Cutler made numerous errors that game as well, and how would he have liked it if one of is receivers came up and berated him on national TV? He would lose his mind.
Dude simply doesnt get it.

See, that would make sense to a fan of another team, sure. Anything to make Cutler sound like an ass i guess.
However if you did watch the team on a regular basis, you would know that Webb has not an ounce of heart when it comes to football. I know lots of players need to shake it off and forget the last play, but Webb just simply doesnt care. The fact that he laughs it off on the sideline minutes later says it all, he has not fire to compete. One would think after giving up his 4th sack he would be down, but no he was still ho-hum about it, along with the numerous times he gave up sacks and runs stopped in the backfield against Indianapolis last week. He simply doesnt care.
Also, FYI, it was noted that Cutler was not yelling at Webb about the numerous sacks he made, but about the false start that cost them a series as they went from 2nd and short to 2nd and 8.
So no, Bruschi did not say it best.
