It is extremely hard to find any weaknesses in this defense this year. I definitely wouldn’t even consider this a weakness by any means, but the run defense is probably the one category where I couldn’t say we are “elite.” I’m just unsure of what it truly is yet.
We do remain second in yards per game allowed. And we’ve done pretty well against most teams vs. the run so far. The only exception would be Frank Gore in week 4 in Buffalo, who posted over 100 yards and 6+ YPC.
This will be a big test the next two weeks to see if teams are capable of running against us. If they do, it may be a blueprint that opposing teams will try to use going forward.
Nick Chubb is the best RB we will have faced so far this year. You have to think they will heavily gameplan running with him considering how many interceptions Baker is throwing right now, and how many we’ve been picking off.
As for the week after vs. Baltimore, I don’t even need to tell you why that’ll be a huge test. Not many teams run the football more effectively than Baltimore. Very curious to see how Bill gameplans for Lamar.
