Jaquan Brisker praising his fellow safety!
While the Bears' defense has not been spectacular so far this season, the level of play by the two safeties Jaquan Brisker and Eddie Jackson has been very solid. Indeed, the rookie Brisker was very impressed by Eddie Jackson in week 4.
Jackson's game included an impressive pick of Giants backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor in the fourth quarter, which left Brisker in awe.
«I thought that play he made was a crazy play,» Brisker said, via ChicagoBears.com. «I was watching it. Watching him track it the whole way, and the catch it, I was like, �yeah that's a great play.' Not too many people can make that play. Not too many safeties actually can make that play. That's different. Him tracking it like he's in center field playing baseball, him catching it even with the receiver right there and giving the ball back to our offense. That's a huge play. No matter what nobody says. That's great. That's great safety play.»
Brisker noted how Eddie's performance has elevated the entire secondary, which is allowing 168.5 passing yards per game, ranking fourth in the NFL.
«For the backend, as I said, that just gives us more momentum and more swagger and things like that,» Brisker said. «Teams can't try us on the backend. We're showing that on film. We're proving it. Day in, day out we're proving it. They can't touch us back there. Especially having Eddie back there in center field, he's controlling everything. He's doing what he has to do and then that's making our job easier.»
