The Run D Problem: Scheme, Personnel, or Both??

Recommended Posts

Our run defense has been horrible going back some time now even as other areas of our defense have improved. This despite spending a top-10 pick on a DT, a 2nd rounder on a DE, and signing a pretty well regarded veteran in Matt Ioannidis.

The question is: is this because we just don't have the players capable of stopping the run or is there a larger schematic issue to blame here? Or could it be both?

What say the Huddle?

The interesting thing is, we did stop them on the drive right before our field goal, when we focused on stopping the run.  So probably a lot of scheme/coaching decisions, but with significant inability to deal with an oline that was missing two starters.  

We also had the new DE in on that drive.

It's both scheme and personal. Still a good coach hides personal weaknesses and honestly even where we have focused in the draft(CB, DT, DB) have played underwhelming. I think Matt Rhule has had too much input and not enough qualified people have been used in the draft and FA process.
