Chiefs Run Defense: Better than you thought
Below is a nice statistical article that really defines the Chiefs run defense and why it seems that even when it is playing poorly, the world doesn't fall apart. Pretty great stuff, and it somewhat kills the narrative that the Chiefs are a 'bad' run defense.
http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2017/1...e-inconsistent Essentially, the summary of the OP's study is that even though the Chiefs don't get a lot of stuffs, they also are among the best in the league at preventing long running plays. They bend with the 5 yard runs, but do not break with 10+ yarders hardly ever. Good read and if you get the chance, take a look. |

They also seem to come up with stops in crucial situations. I don't feel quite the same dread on 3rd and short/medium that I have with Chiefs teams in the past.

Ranked 24th of 32 teams isn't something to be overly excited or proud about.

The things I would like to see in an analysis like this is comparing the run defense from before and then after DJ was hurt. It seems like the run defense has gotten worse since he went out.
The other is to throw out long runs that don't result in a first down. The article mentions Luck running for 60 yards but, iirc, most of those were scrambles on 3rd and long where he was still short of the 1st down, leading to a punt. It ends up affecting the field position but typically the defense is okay giving that up so it isn't really a good picture of the normal run defense. |

I think that's part of Suttons style. Don't give up big plays and don't miss tackles.

Who was the LB that lead the Chiefs 32 D with tackles?
Cause most of his tackles were 10-15 yards down field... |

Our run D sucks monkey nuts...especially without DJ. I don't even need to see stats to back that up.
