To add to your point, we play the Titans and the Jags 4 games, 2 more than Indy, and the last time I looked they where both running teams.
I think we drafted Cushing for one reason only, stop the run. IIRC papabear has been telling us the key is not the pass rush but the 3rd and longs created by stopping the run.
Since we now have a LB corp that is not considered small, I think the development of Okoye and Okam can have the biggest impact on this team, I think the development of Okoye and Okam will have the biggest impact on this team. If they can get into the top half of the league against the run and still be solid against pass.
