Jay Cutler had his first practice as a member of the Bears on Wednesday. "Sometimes you can hear it coming," said receiver Rashied Davis. Bears receivers are not yet accustomed to the velocity of Cutler's passes. "You just have to get used to catching a ball that comes that hard," said Davis. "It comes fast; it's on you real quick. You've got to get your head around. Once you get used to running routes with him and catching the ball from him, it gets a little bit easier. But he throws the ball pretty hard and the heat is still on the ball 20 yards down the field. It's not like you're [just] five yards away from him and it's hot." Devin Hester wants Cutler to consider him a dependable big-play option. "He's going to make us a lot better," said Hester. "Some of the things Jay tells me ... I wish I could put that in the playbook. Instead of having one window open, he gives you a second option. So if something is not there [with the called play], there could be something else before the play ends. That's the type of quarterback he is. "Everybody knows that Jay has a strong arm and that's real important. He is not only strong with it, he is very accurate. At the end of the day, when you need a big play, you can always depend on me. That's the kind of receiver that I try to carry myself as. Just make big plays, you know."
