Run Defense Now Dead Last in the NFL

#29

Its a product of our personnel now but also our gap control and run fits are way off.

Yannick is an awful run defender (elite young pass rusher),

Fowler is a solid run defender

Malik is a good pass rusher but is playing at around 280

Abry Jones is a good rotational DT. More so a disruptive 3 tech who can moonlight at nose than a true run stuffing DT. Roy Miller was an elite run defender with some disruption to his game and is missed.

Calais has always been a pretty good run defender where ever he has played..I don't see much issue with him.

Telvin and Jack are both elite run and hit type linebackers. Great going sideline to sideline, they make big plays and are decent in coverage but they ain't the guys you want blowing up blocks. Even though Jack isn't actually too bad at it.

Poz's bread and butter is run defense and he's still damn good at it.

Church needs to be confident in his run fits but that's kinda a product of the Dline not clogging up correctly.

Part of it is fixable with some tweaks here and there but overall this is the trade off we have made. Elite pass defense unit, elite pass rushing unit, elite team speed on defense but just doesn't have the dogs to stop the run efficiently.

The Broncos have been an elite unit for years and it's only this year they've really managed to shutdown the run in an effective way.

Hopefully major adjustments are made for Sunday for Bell will put up career stats against us.
