CJ's Impact vs the Run

[CBDellinger]

Pep has historically been excellent vs the run.  No worry there.  More concerned about 3rd down pass rush when he's tired from playing early in the series.  Horton is gonna have to step up big time!

I really hope that let butler play some end imagine butler kk star and peppers or Addison all on the field at once

I know Johnson hasn't had eye catching plays but he seems to be playing with discipline in the run game which is a reason we are a top rank run stuffing D. I'm  concerned this being the best rushing team we face. I'm happy to see a heavier dose of Horton it looks like he's turning into a playmaker time to see if he can do that while playing a much heavier role. Will Pep wear out and minimize his splash plays because of more reps. Its pretty refreshing to read such optimistic views. It's really hate towards Johnson but I'll take the we might even have a nastier line without him views I'm hoping the huddle knows what's it's talking about with the addition by subtraction mantra on a this situation.

So when a pass rushing DE can no longer get to the QB, he all of a sudden plays the run very well?

Isn't Horton pretty much gonna take Johnsons role of being on the field on running downs (with Cox coming in a bit more)?
