Should be very possible.

Cox isn't a force against the run anymore and Hargrave doesn't even try to stop it. Linval Joseph is more name than productivity. Davis hasn't really stepped up as a rookie yet. They just don't have much gravity in the middle; certainly nothing like Cincy has.
And their edges are more designed to rush as well, though Brandon Graham may be one of the more secretly great players in the league. I don't think he'll make the HoF or anything - but he actually might and NOBODY thinks of him in that light. He's been a damn good player for a really long time. He makes me nervous in this one because you know he's going to empty the tank. He could absolutely have an impact on the run game if Wylie can't hold his own against him.
