It feels like Fiske has been pretty underwhelming since his injury. Hopefully, Young can play effectively through his knee issue - because to win vs. Seattle, the defensive line will need to dominate and make Darnold a liability, 2 starting pass rushers being ineffective won't cut it.
I thought the d-line was good last night. Chicago has an elite offensive line. They invested heavily in it during the off-season. Including signing former Ram Jonah Jackson, who has been great for them. The other side gets paid too. It's not an easy front to bully or get pressure on. Plus, they definitely were playing to contain Caleb much of the game, so to the untrained eye, you might think, "where's the pressure". As the night wore on, the bull rushes seemed to be getting more and more effective, pushing the pile back. Not their best outing, but a good one, especially considering the elements in the cold. We were particularly dominating on 4th down, which in large part won us the game.
We'll need to kick it up vs. Seattle. We need a dominant outing. Not just a good one.
