The focal point of the third preseason matchup against the Titans was to see which QB would clarify who would be the starter for the opening of the 2017 season. The plan has always been to start this season with Mike Glennon as rookie Mitchell Trubisky watches and learns for when it’s his time to take over as the franchise quarterback. So just how would Glennon and Trubisky handle the pressure from outside the organization that has been building as the regular season approaches? Aside from the all the quarterback talk, there are many players that are fighting for a spot on the Bears 53-man roster. Plus, all three phases of the team are trying to improve with each preseason game. What started out as a day to evaluate all the talent, answer quarterback questions and see how far the team has come turned into evaluating injures to key pieces of the foundation. Just when you start to have hope, it’s short lived. Let’s take a look at some of the things that jumped out at me in the game against the Titans.
