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

Bunkley is a 6 year pro.

last offseason he was traded for a 6th or 7th round undisclosed pick from Philly to Denver.

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.

he has never been an elite run stopper and the people who are saying this are basing it off 43 tackles... a season comparable to what we get out of Sedrick Ellis.

In Philly he was a 14th overall pick who never panned out. He was drafted to give a pass rush up the middle, and he never did that. He has six sacks as a pro.

If the Saints did indeed sign him, it's a quality depth pickup, provided we didnt overpay.

Don't expect an elite 4-3 run stopper. That he aint.
