This shows teams don't run against the Chiefs because the Chiefs offense pressures them to throw. Hence it's smart to under resource the DT position.

Thanks for the data.
I was a little concerned after we lost Saunders, but he was never great vs. the run anyway. He was probably about average. And as I said before, I really don't think the DL has to do any better than what they did last season and it'll be fine. Just don't fall back in a significant way. And who really cares if some team wants to run against us? Not one of those teams in the AFC will probably make the playoffs anyway.
