Kris Jenkins has 8.5 TFL, 4.5 sacks in 3 years.

If Kris Jenkins had Donald's pass rushing profile, I would not be worried at all.

But he doesn't. Not even close.

Absolutely true, but AD can defend the run as well.  I think the defensive line will play differently this season, they almost have to.  There is no DJ Reader, and McKinley is not him either despite the girth.  We don't have a guy that can stone both A gaps on the roster and still make a play.  

I can appreciate the team making a solid attempt at fixing the run issue.  We will see how Johnny Newton works out and we may regret it, but for now I just want to stop the run in the AFCN.
