Found it funny Carlyon I think on the Frank Frangie show was surprised by this defenses performance. Especially against the run. A lot of us on here are not surprised at all. It was pretty clear what they were doing in free agency and the draft. This division is won by the ground game. When you think of the tacks. You think of Henry. Not Tannehill. When you think of the clots. You think of Taylor. Not Ryan.

You don't go out and add guys like Fatukasi & Oluokun because you were concerned with the passing game capabilities in this division. Walker was also already highly touted as a run defender coming out of Georgia. Lloyd is a flyer so he can do a bit of both. It really shouldn't be surprising that this team is good against the run defensively when it was pretty obvious that was mission number on during the off season.
