Pretty much every fan that watched the Bears last year is well-aware that S Eddie Jackson played horribly last season. While he did have some flash plays, he made so many costly errors and he seemed, at times, uninterested to play.
The former Alabama Football star gave up a career-worst six touchdowns through the air last year and allowed an opposing quarterback rating of 143.6. Let me remind you that a perfect quarterback rating is 158.3.
The good sign is that he is owning up to his mistakes and lack of good play.
��Yeah, it wasn't the best at all,'' Jackson said, ��I think that's probably one of my worst seasons. I gave up too many deep balls. Just trying to eliminate that. The little things with your eyes, breaking on the ball, attention to detail. Little things, little fixes that you could make.''
Head coach and defensive guru Matt Eberflus shared a few words as well on Jackson:
��I can see it in [Jackson's] attitude and his demeanour,'' Eberflus said. ��I could see it in his eyes when I talk to him, that he is energized and he sees it as a fresh start for him. I can see it in his practice, too, just the way he's carrying himself. He's been great in the meetings, and he's been great on the practice field.''
I think this all sounds great and I'm looking forward to seeing it with my own eyes as well in a few months!
