Even when our run D was bad early in the year, we could at least sell out to stop the run if we needed to. That’s what we did against Tenn. unfortunately, Tanny killed us through the air and on his QB scrambles. But now we that our D has improved, we can play a bit more Balanced on D, and I think still do pretty well against the run.
I think people though are expecting too much out of the D. Taylor averages 5 YPC, basically against everyone. The colts Ran pretty effectively even against the Steelers (not a ton of carries— but good YPC). We just have to make some key stops, especially on 3rd down and in the redZone, and avoid huge homerun runs.
