Still, I get the concern for the rushing defense, but again our starting DTs were out and 3 players we're counting on to be heavily in the DL rotation are either out with injury or played limited snaps in his first game back from injury.
I agree! We had Carter and Peko Jr. playing the vast majority of DL snaps and then Jenkins who played one handed, getting a few plays along with Guy and even Hubbard. I also believe when we get Hill and Rankins back, it will be a lot better.
The OL has been playing better, the running game picked up Monday night against a good D front. Burrow went deep a couple of times to Chase.
We all need to take a deep breath here.
