BOURBONNAIS, Ill. --?Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler called Matt Forte irreplaceable on Wednesday as the club reported to training camp without the veteran tailback for the first time in nine years.You cant [replace Forte], Cutler said. Just because of his knowledge and him being here so long, plus his experience on the field and his experience playing with me.Forte -- the second-most productive running back in franchise history -- signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the New York Jets in free agency.In somewhat of a surprise move, the Bears made no effort to keep Forte, 30, who spent eight seasons in Chicago, rushing for 8,602 yards and scoring 64 total touchdowns.As a team captain, he led the Bears in rushing last season with 898 yards and caught 44 passes for 389 yards while scoring seven total touchdowns. He ranks second, behind only Hall of Famer Walter Payton, on the Bears all-time lists for rushing yards, yards from scrimmage (12,718), receptions (487) and 100-yard rushing games (24). Hes third in total touchdowns and sixth in receiving yards (4,116).Most of the time Id tell him something or just look at him and hed know exactly what I was thinking, Cutler said. You cant replace him, or you cant replace him in a year anyway.Fortes departure leaves Chicago dependent upon a young group of tailbacks --?Jeremy Langford, Jacquizz Rodgers, KaDeem Carey and 2016 fifth-round pick Jordan Howard?-- to fill the void.Langford tallied 816 all-purpose yards as a rookie, but Chicago is expected to push him in the preseason. Rodgers, Carey and Howard all received significant reps in the Bears offseason program.Chicagos ability to run the football is critical for Cutler, who dramatically reduced his amount of turnovers last year in Adam Gases balanced offense. But Gase left for Miami in January, prompting head coach John Fox to promote former quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains to offensive coordinator. Loggains is Cutlers sixth different playcaller since 2009.I think a lot of it [reducing turnovers] was the system and the way Adam called plays and manipulated the game in that regard, Cutler said. He definitely took care of quarterbacks and receivers and offensive linemen, and just the way he called games.Dowell has a lot of that same thought process in his mind. Hes going to try as hard as he can not to put us in bad positions. A lot of that is going to help my game as well.Fox feels confident he made the right choice pairing Cutler and Loggains.It was an easy decision for us with Dowell because he had a great relationship with the quarterback, and most offenses work through the quarterback, Fox said. Hes been a coordinator before. Hes very bright. I think Im pretty much 100 percent sure hes going to do just fine. Custom Football Jerseys China .

PARIS -- Germany and a combined Nordic nations bid currently head the possible candidates to host the 2024 European Championship.The leading contenders are clear though they have expressed only unofficial interest for a contest that should be decided in 2018, UEFA interim general secretary Theodore Theodoridis said Tuesday.Turkey had been an expected bidder, after it was edged by France for the hosting rights to Euro 2016 and declined an invitation from UEFA President Michel Platini to bid to host Euro 2020 alone.Now, I dont know if Turkey will like to come back and give it a go, Theodoridis said at a briefing. I dont think so, but you can never know.Germany has focused on a 2024 bid, after leaving England clear to host the semifinals and final of the multi-nation Euro 2020.The Nordic group of soccer federations from Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden said in April they wanted to host the tournament either in 2024 or 2028. That bid would seek to stage events in Iceland and the Faroe Islands, too.The four-nation Nordics group also announced this month it was backing Slovenia federation leader Aleksander Ceferin as a candidate to replace the now-suspended Platini in a Sept. 14 election.The other currently declared contender, Michael van Praag, a UEFA vice president from the Netherlands, is reportedly a supporter of Germany for Euro 2024.Still, Theodoridis said the bidding contest should not be a campaign issue in the presidential election voted by UEFAs 55 member federations.ddddddddddddf course, in an election you can never exclude populism but I would not worry about it, Theodoridis said, pointing to UEFAs transparency in publishing technical analysis of the bids. I think it will be quite naive for people to think that they can promise or that they can be promised one thing or the other.European Championship hosts are chosen by the 17-member UEFA executive committee, with members from a candidate country excluded from voting.Theodoridis said he has no plans to enter the presidential contest by the July 20 deadline. The Greek official was deputy general secretary at UEFA until his former boss Gianni Infantino left in February on being elected FIFA president.Infantino is scheduled to attend the Euro 2016 final on July 10, while Platini still has not attended a game in his home country despite an open invitation from UEFA.You can never say never, Theodoridis said. The decision would be for Mr. Platini to make if he wants to come or not.Platini has a home on the south coast near Marseille, where France would play a semifinal on July 7 if it beats Iceland at Saint-Denis on Sunday.
