Windy City Gridiron
On her latest Making Monsters podcast, Taylor Doll is joined by Jeremy Reisman, who is on the Detroit Lions beat for SB Nation’s Pride Of Detroit, to help preview the week 18 matchup between the Lions and our Chicago Bears.
Taylor and Jeremy chat about the paths of both teams this year, the Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams relationship, what it means for Caleb to hit 4,000 passing yards, and other storylines from this season.
Jeremy also discusses Detroit’s lack of identity on defense.
“For the past few years, it’s been the run defense. They’ve been a really good run defending team, and it started out that way this year, and then things kind of slipped towards the end of the season,” Reisman said. “And I think part of that is losing your top two safeties. Those guys play a pretty huge role in defending the run, and I know that doesn’t sound normal for a normal defense, but that’s who the Lions really rely upon. They need their corners to fill run gaps. They need their safeties to fill run gaps. And I think that’s where the weakness has been towards the end of the season.”
