Just because it's there doesn't mean it's a good thing!
that analogy made no sense...
the point is our run D is good, and has always been good. its not the best, but were always stout overall against opposing RB, despite the KC game. keeping a RB under 100 yds isnt special, but if you do it for a whole season its somewhat impressive. it just means no one player was able to go nuts on the ground against us. it also means we didnt really give up any big yardage runs this year.
our pass D is awful, which is our major flaw. the front 7 are really good. our best CB is an overrated bonehead, and our S are a joke.
when your pass D is awful, you cant really afford to blitz a whole lot, and when you dont blitz, you give opposing QB too much time to throw, thus making a DB's job even harder.
ive never understood why everyone on this board gives our DB's a pass all the time, but picks Haralson and Lawson apart. our OLB play is actually solid when compared to the league average. our DBs are the ones holding this defense back from being great.
