In continuing with the tradition mentioned last week, today I will give out scores for specific performances and note standouts. Yesterday the Bears hosted a Pre-Season game against the Jacksonville Jaguars [which resulted in a 20-19 Bears win] – and that’s the focus of today’s post. First of all, here are the scores for the specific players I’m watching this year [note the overall score for the player in brackets].

• #25 – Ka’Deem Carey: 3+ points, 2- points; Average Performance – [2 points].
• #12 – David Fales: No Participation – [-1 point].
• #95 – Ego Ferguson: 0+ points, 1- point; Below Average Performance – [0 points].
• #45 – Brock Vereen: 1+ point, 1- point; Average Performance – [0 points].
• #93 – Will Sutton: 0+ points, 1- point; Below Average Performance – [0 points].
• #23 – Kyle Fuller: Early Injury, no notes – [4 points].
• #16 – Pat O’Donnell: 3+ points, 0- points; Above Average Performance – [3 points].
• #36 – Jordan Lynch: No Participation notes – [2 points].
• #57 – Jon Bostic: 2+ points, 0- points; Above Average Performance – [-2 points].

Moving on now to standouts. Onca again our Special Teams performed poorly, and actually I only saw Pat O’Donnell as a positive experience. Offensively, though, we saw some nice things on the field. Jay Cutler, and his O-Line, was amazing – and he felt so comfortable. Honestly, if he performs like this in the regular season, we’ll have a great season. As for the 2nd and 3rd strings? Well, I soured somewhat on Jimmy Clausen – but not due to him performing badly; actually, Jordan Palmer was just that good. Defensively, I loved what I saw from Stephen Paea and ‘Peanut’. For the second week in a row, I loved what I saw from Trevor Scott – he’s a lock for the 53 man squad. Finally, the interception from C.J. Wilson needs to be noticed. Nice job, young man.
