I thought our run D was pretty damn good when the #1s were in. Charles only got 13 yards on 5 carries with a long of 4. Where they hurt us was when our LBs were in coverage.

I will give them that, but what they exelled in there they equally lacked against the pass. Teams wont need to run on us when they can throw all over us and jump ahead early. Then we are reduced to playing catch up, just like last year, and not have a chance to run the ball ourselves. A pass happy offense against our D makes our offense much more one dimensional.

Give it time; it was only one series of the very first game of the year. We were without 2 projected impact LBs as well. (Galette, Wilson)
