Eric Berry should have turned around.

And the Rams run defense sucks too. So...

You just made the case against Donald and Jones.

Only reason Rams are on the way to the SB is a terrible non call on an obvious PI, just like KC was one play from the SB. :shrug:

Isn't that also about Houston's number for next year?

You can get run stuffers easier. Problem is teams get you in situations where you can’t rush the passer

Having interior dl that ran rush the passer is super rare. I’d keep Jones over ford and try and put some better guys around jones

Personally I think Chris Jones could play the run if the coaching staff would get in his ass about it.

How many snaps are the chiefs actually in a 34 set?

That's my point. If Chris Jones is a complementary player and expendable then Aaron Donald is too.

Dude got a penalty that snatched defeat away from the jaws of victory. But the fact is, we aren't even playing in that game if it wasn't for Ford this season.

The current defensive coaching staff has made remarks about not emphasizing stopping the run

I think that’s a big part of the problem

I wouldn't say expendable, but I might say he isn't worth the $ he will demand.

It all depends on how the team is built. We have other pass rushers so do you need to pay a DL $20MM to rush the passer?

Rams don't have any real outside pass rushers so they can deal with it. You don't pay 2 OLB and a DL to do the same thing. We drafted Speaks to rush the passer, he is either Ford or Houstons replacement.

We have 2 guys who can rush the passer and not defend the run, and another guy who can do both, Houston. I say keep Ford and get another run stuffing DL.

I’ve mentioned that before about both Jones and Ford.

They need someone to legit push them.

Its why they’ve lost the last 3 playoff games.

Steelers, Patriots rammed it down our throats and sustained long drives that dictated the tempo of the game in their favor and beat us. How the **** is this problem ongoing and not fixed throughout the years? Its such a ****ing shame.

When was the last time the Chiefs had a good run defense? 20, 25 years ago?

Where is Todd Haley when you need him.
