Fiske is one hell of an athlete. He just needs to get his core strength up so he can hold up better on those double teams.

But is he really trusting the defense with those huge cushions and just trying to prevent big plays?
There’s no getting around the fact that 3 NFL teams were held to under 10 points in 3 consecutive weeks. Sure There were some advantageous bounces of the ball that contributed to that result but it’s more the result of a defense that can step up when it needs to over an extended period of time. That requires good coaching, excellent preparedness and a tremendous effort/performance of a very young and newly assembled teammates.

At the expense of the offense. It’s not ideal.
