Five Chicago Bears players to watch against the Tennessee Titans
Mitchell Trubisky, Quarterback
Mitchell Trubisky will likely start the second half of the game against the Tennessee Titans. On Wednesday, Chicago Bears head coach John Fox spoke to the media about Trubisky getting work with the first team.
"“There’s been no change in our quarterback depth chart as far as No. 1, 2 and 3,” Fox said. “This was something we had talked about and planned a long time ago. This is really our last opportunity to get a look at him with the ones.” “We can’t dictate exactly what Tennessee does with their defense, but in that second half, to start the third quarter, many people leave their ones in, so we’re kind of hoping that that’s what happens,” Fox said. “Mike will start the game, play the first half. Mitch will come in, and then we’ll figure that out after that. But it’s something we had planned for some time, with this being the last opportunity.”"
In my opinion, Mike Glennon showed no signs of improvement in his second preseason game. While it was not the 0.0 passer rating he put up against the Broncos, it was nothing that showed me that I can have faith in him when the Falcons come to town to face the Bears in the first week of the regular season.
The Chicago Bears moved up to the second overall pick to select Mitchell Trubisky in the draft. That showed how much conviction they had in this football player. Now it’s time to show the faith that they have in this football player by playing him with the starters against the Titans on Sunday.
We need to see what Trubisky looks like with Cameron Meredith and Zach Miller, while Josh Sitton and company block for him. Trubisky played behind a backup offensive line and the Bears nearly paid the price when he took a low shot last week against the Arizona Cardinal.
If Trubisky plays well against the Titans, then he should be the starter going into week one against the Atlanta Falcons. If he does not play well, let Glennon start the first week while Trubisky sits.
We shall find out what happens, but no matter how it plays out, all eyes should be on number 10, since he is the future of the franchise. Soon, we will find out if the future begins now.
