I said their D greatly improved their ability to stop the run. JJ doesn't have to tackle the back to help his team stop the run. Correctly setting the edge and turning a runner inside is the prime example. I honestly didn't watch mroe hten a few games of SD this season, but when I watched he was setting the edge on run downs jst as well as he always did here. What he does is always perform his responsibility on a given play. If everyone else maintains their gap responsibilities, that is a recipe for success in stopping the run.
