The two have a lot of catching up to do in the Bears' offense under new coordinator Dowell Loggains after Jeffery followed up an injury-filled season by staying away from the team's voluntary organized team activity work at Halas Hall.
"We didn't turn this offense over. We're have the same terminology. The same stuff. We've got to improve in the direction we want to go."
"They're still learning," Cutler said. "Al has got a little catching up to do with some of the stuff that we're putting in and then Kevin, taking a year off, it's hard for anybody to not play football for a year. He played at West Virginia, where our offense is a little bit different.

"I just try to encourage him and make sure that he knows what he's going to do and he kind of does his thing."
"We've got to be better than last year and that's what we tell the guys," Cutler said. "Even though we are in Year 2 and we've got some new pieces out here, and Kevin and Alshon's been gone, that's not an excuse for us.
Cutler expressed confidence in Jeffery's ability to master any additions to the offense Loggains has made since he took over after former coordinator Adam Gase became the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
It's been a while.
"I mean I did some things this offseason to prevent them, but overall with injuries, this is the game of football," Jeffery said. "There is a 99 percent chance you are going to get hurt."
Jeffery worked out on his own in Florida, and said his offseason conditioning hasn't varied greatly despite problems with pulled hamstrings and groin strains last season.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Quarterback Jay Cutler became reacquainted with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery when the Chicago Bears began a three-day minicamp on Tuesday.

"I was just working on some soft tissue issues," Jeffery said. "I was working out with my trainer and some other people I was seeing down there."
"I kind of hope they have changed. We were 6-10 and in last place, so, I'm hoping to change that, too."
Jeffery,Nike Schuhe G??nstig Kaufen Schweiz, designated a franchise player during free agency, has been working out on his own. He's due $14.6 million this year, but wants Bears GM Ryan Pace to negotiate a long-term deal.

"So he's kind of got a year and a half of just straight catching up with what he has to do in a short amount of time."
Cutler believes one of the biggest adjustments is dealing with Loggains, who was the team's quarterbacks coach last season. Loggains has a reputation for being a bit more blunt than Gase.
Cutler said he's actually working with two receivers who are trying to play catch up.
