I have no idea what happened to our run defense from last season. You would think that with moving from a 34 to a 43 the run defense would improve but it has been abysmal.

CJ Mosley was Middle Linebacker
we had speed OLB that are now DE but one that was effective is on short term IR (Bryce Huff)
they need to reorganize the line up to better set the edge and force them to run up the middle but our middle is cheesecake creamy and soft...

I think part of our problem is trying to fit 34 defense personnel into a 43 scheme. We seem to be weak stopping the run in the middle but we went from thumping LB's stacked in a 34, to a MLB who is trying to roam sideline to sideline. The defense may not look right for a few seasons as they bring in the correct personnel to run it.

Jarred Davis is perfect for the middle linebacker in the 43 . The DTs are also perfect . Our problem is setting the edge and folks staying in their gaps. Against the Colts we were just simply pushed around by their offense line . It was embarrassing to watch and I have to believe embarrassing for the defensive front 7 .
The Jets defensive line is better suited to play the 43 than the 34 but they have to forget what they used to do and accept what’s being asked of them now . The constant upheaval due to injuries isn’t helping either .
