So we are giving up the 2nd (can't remember exactly what the tweet said) most yards per rush in the history of the league, but we are undefeated and we're still ranked 18th in ppg allowed. So a historically bad run D, but we're still average in the one ranking that matters PPG. So explain to me how run D matters.
Also I take it back, you are a douchebag loser.

If you can't stop the run, your pass rushers can't tee off on the opposing QB. If they can run for 5 and 6 yards a pop, they can keep your defense guessing.
Sacks come in bunches when an opposing offense is forced to pass and everyone in the stadium knows it. Defensive linemen don't have to worry about manning running lanes, they know they can just explode upfield and race to the QB.
Every game we lost last year, including the AFC championship game, we lost because we couldn't force the enemy to become one dimensional.
You don't understand football.
