But there ARE teams - more and more of them- that are going to try to win games with their running game. We have one in the West in LAC and probably another with Pete Carroll.
Bolton may actually be a bit undervalued going forward if this trend continues. And man, it is SO easy to find another LB to run alongside him and cover some of those weaknesses in space.

Couldn’t this argument be emphasized with Leo Chenal? The guy is arguably the most vital player to our run defense. He’s destroying the running lanes allowing guys like Bolton to get unblocked.
Idk man I’m thinking we need to keep that guy somehow. He’s the strongest guy on the team and is extremely important to coverage schemes.
He’s pretty much a DL in a LB’s body. We are gonna put him on the DL to simulate a Bear front and he’s one of the most athletic LB’s in the league.
Feels like the run defense would take a massive hit losing him.
