I don't know quite what to make of this comment by ex-Vikings Danielle Hunter (DE for Houston now).

“If you dissect the O-line, the quarterback can’t really do anything."
The issue Sunday night was the Bears didn’t have an answer for longtime nemesis Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. on the edges. The interior struggled as well, and the result was Caleb Williams running for his life with the ground game providing no support whatsoever. Basically, any opponent with any kind of talent on the defensive line presents a real problem for offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
“After last week, playing a scrambling quarterback, there were some adjustments we had to make,” said Hunter, who had 1½ sacks. “I know Caleb wants to scramble around. We did a good job keeping our composure when he did scramble. We stayed in pursuit and plastered in the back with the DBs.
“If you dissect the O-line, the quarterback can’t really do anything. One way to affect the quarterback is by beating the O-line, and we did a pretty good job as a defense. I played them last year. Feel like some of the players that are still there, they still have the same tendencies. Just passed it on to my teammates. Might help them rush better. Maybe it did.”
