Asking Lemar Marshall to cover Jerry Porter 40 yards downfield is a recipe for disaster.

Yep, stopping the run is supposed to be one of the key ingredients for victory. Lately, we've done a good job in run defense, but still find ways to lose. Apparently, that theory is out the window. You can still win the game if you can't run the ball, as long as you get three takeaways.
