Cutler targets Marshall like he used to do with Olsen. Obviously Marshall is good enough for that to work but when most of the team doesn't expect to get the ball it could effect the way they run routes or even concentrate on the play. That has to change. The ball needs to be spread around more and Forte needs to lose some of his reps until he is healthy enough to play effectively on his ankle.
I never realized Olsen was targeted 19 times a game.
It's doubtful but we all knew in certain situations he was going to force the ball to Olsen no matter what. Marshall catches just about everything (when he's covered) so it hasn't hurt the Bears a lot other than the fact no one else on offense is involved. They're probably shocked when Cutler does throw them the ball.
