If you did that, it would change the meaning to something that the author didn't intend (and it wouldn't make nearly as much sense).
When you have a porous run defense, the opposing team's offense stays on the field longer, controls the ball, and runs it down your throat until they score. Then your offense comes on the field and tries to play catch-up against the well-rested defense of the other team.
I hope this helps.
