IIRC Shew put up 50 attempts. Not trying to dump on Walker, but without some perspective of who the 35-44th ranked guys played (if they played at all) and how many attempts they faced is a big factor in whether you deem this promising or an upward trend or a convenient coincidence.

I'll say this - if Allen keeps being as disruptive as he's been so far this season, Walker will have ample opportunity to get his pressures. Here's hoping he does capitalize.

It's because of our run defense.  If teams continue to not being able to run against this defense they will get more opportunities because teams will have to pass and especially if we get a lead.  When we get Hamilton back our run defense might be elite and possibly the best in the league.  

That's one area this defense is much better at than the 2017 defense.  Our 2017 defense we had one of the worst run defense in the league and we traded for Dareus and if put us about middle of the pack run D.  This defense is much better against the run, up to this point at least
