Just looking at the stat alone is a bit of a misnomer. It is far more important to focus on when teams are getting chunks on us last year/this year. From what I remember of the Chiefs the past couple of years, it has been their nickel and dime sets that opposing teams have exploited. They spread us out and gash us. However, when faced with having to stop the run (short yardage with teams in power sets), we were able to get it done last year with those three all pros. The preseason, up to this point, has not shown that we have that ability as more big runs appear to be occurring in our base D.
