Welcome in to the Under Center podcast on CSNChicago.com.

I'm JJ Stankevitz, joined as always by Mark Shannowski at Halis Hall.

Mark, we had a chance on Wednesday to hear from Dowell Loggins and Mike Glennon.

And I think the question we we want to dive into

on this podcast is, what is Mike Glennon's ceiling or how good can Mike Glennon be? And is that good

enough for the Bears this year? I was really impressed with Glennon, particularly in those last

two drives against the Falcons. I mean, facing a big deficit initially,

getting them within three with the first touchdown to Tariq Cohen, and then potentially

taking them into the end zone on a winning score. I thought that he showed really good

composure with the fact that the Falcons knew he was going to throw on every down. I think they had like

25 passing place to close out the game. And he still was able to maintain his composure under pressure, find his second and third

options, did make some throws down the field that got some big chunks in that last drive.

So I was really impressed by what he showed.

I mean, obviously in the first two quarters, the game plan was pretty conservative, a lot of

checkdowns.

And I think that's where some fans get a little bit uneasy that maybe if it was Trubisky, maybe he would take more shots down the

field, maybe he would escape the pocket and make some plays with his legs. You're not going to get

that for Mike Lennon. But as Dahl Lagan's mentioned today, he has a superior understanding of the

offense and what the opposing defenses are doing that what Trubisky is capable of right now.

I mean, and look, the first thing Dalagin's brought up today when he asked, you know,

how did he evaluate Mike Glennon's performance was, first, he didn't turn the ball over.

And that is, you know, the number one thing for a team that wants to win games with a strong running
