The first key for the defense becoming at least respectable ,starts with them stopping the run. Everyone talks about the linebackers being terrible in coverage as the demise of the defense but we also got absolutely gashed on the ground and dominated in time of possession. Our offense can’t do anything from the sidelines. In our division we need to stop the run to be successful or we will get killed by play action pass. The Ravens added Mark Ingram and want a run heavy offense with Lamar Jackson, Pittsburgh has one of the best O-lines in the league and James Connor played well before he got hurt, then the Browns have a bruiser in Nick Chubb and added Kareem Hunt. Hopefully getting back a healthy Preston Brown helps the run defense, that’s supposed to be this guys strength. Also looking for Billings to take the next step at NT. He was supposed to be a great run defender coming out of college and has just been average so far.
