Because when we know the answer to this question, we will be able to comprehend just what may be needed before the deadline.
Clark= He had a good rep before he came here of stopping the run
Okafor= He too seemed to hold up well against the run from what I remember
Jones= We all know it's not his strength
Nnadi= Last year folks said he done well against the run, this year? Looks like he's regressed
Williams= Had a decent grade against the run in Zona...not sure he's lived up to it here
Kpass= He's tall and has length, but he's never had a reputation of stopping the run from what I remember
Ogbah= Not sure what his strength tbh
Saunders= Known as more of a pass rusher in college
Lee= His strength has been in coverage, not run defense
Hitchens= Really what is he best at?
Wilson= Not impressed thus far as far as stopping guys
Neimann= No chance
Ragland= This system was never his favourite but some Chiefs media folks believe he's decent against the run but garbage in coverage
DOD= Against dump offs maybe but not anything else
So that's pretty much the list right now. Folks say Mcclain is decent so we'll just have to wait and see once he gets on the field. But the bottom line is we really don't have many proven guys In that front seven who are known for being good run stoppers, do we? Nnadi may well be another Veach bust tbh and Jones is gonna do what Jones does. A DT and LB who are proven run stoppers may be what's needed before the deadline I think.

Nobody can stop the run. Everyone we have has always sucked against the run or has recently discovered how to suck against the run.

We can't be surprised at what we're seeing IF most of the front seven don't have a reputation stopping the run and Veach needs to address this QUICKLY
