LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- If quarterback Brian Hoyer continues producing as he did Sunday for the Chicago Bears, Jay Cutler could find regaining his starting spot is no mere formality.Bears coach John Fox didnt want to speculate Monday on how much longer Cutler would be out with a sprained thumb after calling it a significant injury, but did say the starting quarterback position is like any other.I think its performance-based, Fox said. So anybody thats performing well, I dont think were going to be likely to change.Hoyer, an eight-year veteran, threw for 302 yards on 28 of 36 with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sundays 17-14 victory over the Detroit Lions.Hoyer has yet to throw an interception in three Bears appearances, and is 67 of 97 with a passer rating of 103.3.Cutler had a 75.7 passer rating and completed 28 of 46 passes for a touchdown and two interceptions. Cutlers two starts came against Philadelphia and Houston while Hoyer faced Dallas and Detroit.When Cutler is healthy enough to return, Fox said evaluation of the spot will begin. At least until then, Hoyer is still the starting quarterback.I think well evaluate it just like we do every position on the football team, Fox said. I think Jay has played a lot of good football.In fact in the (film) cut-ups watching Detroit in last years two games I thought he played pretty well. Well evaluate it like everything. Right now I dont like getting into speculation and predictions because well know more on Wednesday.The Bears are 1/3 after ending a six-game home losing streak and go to Indianapolis on Sunday.Hoyer was particularly adept at moving and throwing against the Lions. The Bears used a moving pocket or passes off bootlegs to keep Detroits pass rush off balance.I think we kind of were starting to do more of that anyway, just because we had some (pass) protection issues, and I think any time you can get the quarterback on a different spot is important in football, Fox said. So its just something we kind of put in the system.Another thing Hoyer did well was distribute the ball to different receivers after Alshon Jeffery had been the chief target opponents sought to stop.Three Bears caught four or more passes and Eddie Royal took a pass over the middle 64 yards to set up a score.It makes the defense so that they cant key on one guy, Royal said. They all know how good Alshon is. And when were spreading the ball around hopefully it will take away some double coverage from him.It didnt hurt Hoyer to be able to lean on a running attack that featured a back Fox said reminded him of former Carolina running back Stephen Davis.Rookie Jordan Howard ran for 111 yards on 23 carries in his first start. He had been sharing time as the third back behind Jeremy Langford and KaDeem Carey, who were injured.Just being the main guy, you know you can be comfortable and relaxed, sort of, Howard said. You dont have to worry about being pulled very fast, so you can definitely get into a rhythm.Fox said he thought Howard tired out Detroits defense, and the rookie wouldnt disagree.I felt like they were getting worn down as the game went on, Howard said. I definitely try to make the defense not want to tackle me toward the end of the game. So I try to bring everything I have on each run.Langford is out with a sprained ankle and Carey with a hamstring pull. So its likely Davis will continue to get work.Hes got good feet, Fox said. Hes got good vision. I think his hands are better than I think we thought, even when we drafted him.He does have an even-keel demeanor. Hes not going to go real high. Hes not going to go real low. But hes a very instinctive football player.Fox was also encouraged by another young player, wide receiver Kevin White.However, White had to have an MRI after suffering an ankle injury in the game and the team will know the extent of the injury later in the week.White had six catches for 55 yards against Detroit.I thought it was by far his best game, Fox said. I think he was real aggressive. I think he caught some contesed balls.I think after the catch he was aggressive to get extra yards. I thought it was his best performance.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Authentic Christian Sam Jersey .

They had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long seven-game road trip waited at the end. A seething Michael Cheika has given his reshuffled Wallabies the ammunition to come out firing against France, after taking exception to his side being labelled a B team.Chiekas team announced on Thursday, which featured 11 new faces and a positional change to new skipper David Pocock from last weeks last-gasp win over Scotland, raised plenty of eyebrows around Paris.Conscious of the heavy workload of some players, Cheika opted to rest the likes of captain Stephen Moore and vice-captain Michael Hooper, as well as stars Israel Folau and Bernard Foley.The French press accused Australia of treating the match without the respect it deserved, with the Wallabies choosing to rest weary stars ahead of the crucial grand slam showdowns with Ireland and England.When it came to motivating his side, Cheika was leaving nothing to chance.He seized upon the B team gibes expressed in the French media and immediately took them to his team.I explained to them that the response to our selection was that we were playing with an equipe bis (a back-up team), Cheika said on Friday.When asked what the teams reaction to the slight had been, Cheika said: Well see tomorrow night (reaction).They didnt say anything, I told them what it meant, I left it with them.Pocock, who returns to the captaincy ffor the first time since August 2012, said it was a special fixture and one which no player selected would take lightly.ddddddddddddObviously a bunch of new players get an opportunity this week and thats really exciting because weve got depth in our squad, Pocock said.Something weve been working hard on is getting everyone up to speed and having a lot of competition at training.To see guys get opportunities as a player is exciting.To play here, its one of the great grounds to play at. Its incredibly loud.A unique atmosphere. Its definitely a special night.Cheika joked during the week that the French might not have seen much of Kyle Godwin, who will become the Wallabies 13th debutant in 2016, or fullback Luke Morahan, who joins from outside the squad to play his third Test.But Pocock played down the advantage that might be gained from having some surprise selections - pointing to Frances heavy 52-8 win over Samoa last week as evidence that the home side are a dangerous outfit.Im not sure if its an advantage. They looked very good against Samoa, Pocock said.I thought in attack and defence they were exceptional. Were expecting a very tough game. ' ' '
