There were five qualifying defensive tackles last year who ranked in the Top 25 in both pass-rush grades and run-stop grades. One of them is a member of the Bengals, and his name isn’t Geno Atkins. Newly signed D.J. Reader graded fifth as a run stopper and 15th in pass rush while playing for the Texans.

So no, even Geno was not particularly good stopping the run.

That stat doesn't mean he wasn't good against the run it means he wasn't too 25 in stopping the run.
