0:00.0	Hey everyone, I'm J.J. Stankovits and welcome into another edition of the Undercenter podcast, brought to you by St. Xavier University. On this episode, Cam Ellis and myself look at the end of the Bears quarterback competition and who we think will start week one against the Detroit Lions on September 13th.
0:21.6	We also look at my projection for the Bears' 53-man roster with cuts looming this weekend
0:27.2	and look at a couple players who might be surprise cuts or surprise additions to the Bears roster.
0:32.4	All that and more on the Under Center podcast, presented by St. Xavier University, starting right now.
