Who said anything about Detroit's running game? You seem to be over-looking to the fact that Wright and Pryor were the Pats Nickle Linemen. Now, with both of them out, the Pats will be putting two guys out there who haven't played with that unit on a regular basis.
Not to mention that they will only have 5 D-linemen (I'm correcting myself). One of which hasn't seen any meaningful time and is a dedicated NT to my knowledge in Kyle Love.
So, the Pats will have Deaderick, Brace, Wilfork and Warren for their nickle packages.. Not ideal. My guess is they'll use Wilfork and Deaderick unless they just put Wilfork or Love out there with an extra LB
