Run defense is a team concept. And with 3 versatile LBs, two of whom are excellent in space, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see us spend more time in base defenses and firm up the run defense in early game/early down situations. Especially against teams that are less dangerous out wide.
The experience of the young CBs will reduce the need to sell out as much in coverage.
I'd take someone like Benton 10 times out of 10 over a 'run stuffing nose' as they just don't move the needle all that much.

I think people get enamored with Mazi because he's so big and strong and moves well so he's more "classic"
