The Five: What To Look For In Training Camp

The_five_medium

The Five is a new weekly article for The Chicago Bears Round Up that highlights five things for each week. This week's focus is on what to look for in the first few opening days of training camp.

1.) The backup quarterback position is up for grabs and with Cutler's injury history the bears will need a solid back up. Fales and Clausen are two names that have been thrown around a lot lately. The first few days of camp both will have the opportunity to jump up the depth chart now that they are more familiar with the system.

2.) This will be the first true glimpse of what the offense could be. It's the offense's second year in the scheme and the bears are bringing everyone back except for Earl Bennett. Look for the bears to build on to the already solid offense and add some new wrinkles.

3.) Marquess Wilson will be the man in the slot and there are many questions surrounding his ceiling. He worked out with Marshall and Jeffery in off season and added some muscle to his frame. The future looks bright for the former Washington standout. In camp he will get the majority of the snaps and have opportunity to add a new dimension to the offense. What is that dimension you ask? A slot receiver that does not drop third down converting passes like Earl Bennett.

4.) Adrian Wilson and Brock Vereen are two players to keep a close watch on. The two complement one another very well. Look for the rookie to wow everyone in training camp. He was over looked in the draft and has a chip on his shoulder. Wilson brings veteran leadership to the team and the ability to stand in the box. These two are the dark horses for both positions and should be watched closely during camp.

5.) How will the bears handle the defensive line rotation? The defensive line is packed with depth now and only so many can be on the field at a time. Most of the defensive linemen will be situational players but the starters will still need rest. This is a good problem to have considering the depth issues last year.
