In the last three weeks, the Bears have an offensive player of the week, special teams player of the week, and a defensive player of the week.

Pretty good.

Hell YES!!

The second-year safety helped lead the Bears to a perfect 4-0 record, scoring three defensive touchdowns while recording 15 tackles, two interceptions, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and four pass breakups.

That's some serious shit right there.

The scout told NFL.com that Jackson was a product of Alabama’s loaded defense and “cherry-picked” bad passes to pad his stats before suffering a season-ending injury in 2016.

“He had like 10 first-rounders in front of him and lockdown corners who almost never needed help,” the scout told NFL.com. “He got to sit back and cherry-pick overthrows. That’s great work if you can get it.”

Because I am petty, I would like to point out these two horrible takes right after the draft in 2017, I'll let Doctor Cox handle it from here...

His run support still needs work but you don't draft a centerfield safety for his tackling ability, you get him to help swing/seal a game with a perfectly timed pick six....

HAHA! That's funny. It's always fun to go back and see how wrong you were about something. You could fill an entire website with my content.

Good thing we have Amos for that.

I like this kid as a true center-fielder.

To be fair, he still has a loaded defense in front of him allowing him to cherry pick.

I disagree. Cherry picking is catching balls that have been tipped, or their flight affected at the line of scrimmage. That's not the case here. Eddie is playing complimentary defense. He knows how good the pass rush is, he knows if the call is a blitz that the QB is going to turn to the hot route, and he's jumping it. Eddie is diagnosing the play and making the right call. That's a shitload different than a tip drill.

Right.

The video breakdown Clearly shows Action Jackson diagnosing/anticipating the play & breaking on the route BEFORE the WR finishes his route.

This isn't simply a DB catching overthrown passes that are coming right to him.
The dude is purposefully showining up to the scene of crimes & straight ROBBING fools.

Gary Fencik was also a safety who was a master at reading defenses and breaking on the routes before the WR ... difference he, Fencik wanted to get there when the ball did so he could knock the receiver into neverland ... Jackson is wanting to get there to get the ball

what should be frightening to the rest of the NFL is Jackson is this good at it in only his second year ... if the Bears front 7 continues to do their jobs, Jackson will have many more opportunities to rob teams blind ... and it will be fun to watch each and every time

I was saying that better players make each other better. Jackson doesn't do this well if the Browns or Bucs draft him.

Well, players and coaching obviously. I strongly believe Aaron Rodgers is just an average QB today if Angelo/Lovie drafts him back in 05.

No doubt. When we traded for Mack, the first thing I said was that it instantly made our secondary better. Jackson is able to do the things he is doing because of an effective pass rush. Cherry pick to me connotes a sense of laziness or waiting for something to happen, and winning without a lot of effort. I think that Jackson's ability to diagnose defenses and play complimentary defense is second to none in the NFL. And to your point, he's able to do it because of the pass rush.
