Our Defensive Line has Disappeared

I think Geno and Dunlap getting older factors into our lack of a pass rush however I feel the biggest reason is due to our inability to stop the run. We rarely get into long distance 2nd or 3rd passing downs because we’re giving up easy yards on the ground early in the down. Our opponents usually have short distance 3rd downs to convert passing the ball. Also play action can holdup the pass rush along with the fact our linebackers can’t cover and guys our running wide open for quick easy throws. The D-line basically has less time to get to the qb.
