I can actually see why they did that. Maybe it's also why they got Landman? Hes good against the run. Same with Poona Ford. We got two run stoppers that can help contain inside runs.

I can actually see why they did that. Maybe it's always why they got Landman? Hes good against the run. Same with Poona Ford. We got two run stoppers that can help contain inside runs.

We need linebackers and corners who can stop the run on the edges, that is where we got hammered last year.

I think this year, they fixed that. We need people on the edge to not only pass rush, but stop outside runs and QB runs. If we xan fix that issue, who's to say we can't be a top unit defensively. Im gonna keep my eyes on the d more this year. I definitely want to see which one of our rookie LBers will make the team.
