re: Bunkley is very good against the run.... debunked.

at Denver, he had 43 tackles, including 3 stuffs. This is the sample size that Pro Football Focus has used to label him the #1 run stopper.

Me thinks you have no idea what a run stopper is supposed to do. You realize, if he's double teammed but fills up his gap and allows a teammate to make the tackle, he accomplished what he was supposed to that play? If he pushes his man into the backfield at the point of attack, and another defender fills the gap, yet again he accomplished his mission? He's not a huge sack guy, we get that, but then again, there are not that many interior defensive lineman that are. You look more for disruptions than actual tackles. Just because you get a tackle does not mean you accomplished your assignment. If he gets pushed back at the point of attack, but digs in and makes the tackle 5 yards past the LOS, thats not a good thing.
