Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.

I'm JJ Stankovitz, joined by John Moon Mullen.

And Moon, the Bears' defense has allowed 69 points in the last two games.

It hasn't really been a very nice stretch for them.

They're not getting pressure. They're not getting

pressure. They're not tackling very well. There are so many different things you can point to that

this team is not doing well on defense. But I want to start with this, because we've talked so

much on this podcast about the rule of threes, which I believe is a Richard Dent thing,

where you need three good pass rushers to be a good

defense, to be even a better than good defense.

And through the first four games of the year, that's what the Bears had.

It was Khalil Mack.

It was Akeem Hicks.

And then it was like this rotating third guy between Roy Robertson Harris or Danny Trevathin

or even a guy like Bryce Callahan or

Sherrick McManus, those guys are getting a lot of pressure.

And now, Killeemak, you know, he's not got any pressure on the quarterback in the last two weeks.

I think his ankle has a lot to do with that.

You don't have kind of that rotating other guy right now.

And I think Akeem Hicks is still getting some pressure, but he hasn't got to the

quarterback recently.

So the Bears maybe have won pass rusher per game at this point that I think they can count on.
