As for the Chiefs, the defense has to find a way to stop the run first and foremost.

Personally, I think we might already have what we need to stop the run...
Holliday is supposed to be a run-stopper...he did fine in GB. Sims can fill a gap. Browning is not great but ain't poor...he's solid enough to not be owned play after play...Hicks...well...every line has their weakness (aside from that, he's been a solid pass rusher before, and I think that's what Gun is gunning for from him...should we re-sign him)...LB's--Fujita has talent, ability, brains and speed...Barber is solid and Maz's strength is stopping the run...
The problem in the run game is that the scheme resulted in our guys getting pushed around and not striking first at the point of attack.
Aside from that...you get a shut down corner in there, you can leave him on an island and use a safety for run support...
And how many times did we see D-linemen and LB's drop back into pass coverage??? You guess wrong on doing that and it weakens the run support greatly...
Get a top-flight corner and the whole D improves...
