What is broken with the run defense?

Honestly I don’t think our run defense is that bad, the numbers just look that way. Outside of the Jets game and the tacks game the run Defense wasn't that bad. They kept Bell in check, Gurley didn’t really dominate and the Tinhorns got some hidden yards from Watson. The tacks and Jets game was so bad it really skewed the numbers. Can they be better yes but it’s not like they are giving up a legit 185 a week. We just had two really bad games. If we have three games where we hold a team to 20 rushing yards, then the numbers will adjust. But watching the games, I only saw two really bad rush defense days. The other 4 were decent.

We also played 6 solid teams record wise to start the season. Let’s play some bad teams and see if the numbers start to even out.

The thing is, a good run defense would never give up a lot of yards to Jets backups. Bilal Powell and a player I had never heard of? I thought we would benefit from Matt Forte being ruled out. No, it was not skewed by two games, because one of them was against second and third string no-name RBs.
