It's a passing league, but stopping the run is still important. San Fran took the #1 rush D all the way to the NFC title game last year. It's easier to be dominant against the run than the pass with today's rules. Stuff the run, force teams to pass on your terms, and get after the QB. That's what our defense needs to do. Maintaining gap responsibility is important for run defense, sure, but a lot of it is attitude as well. I don't see Kuechly bringing that type of badass attitude you need as a LB to help us be a dominant run defense.
