The Rush Defense Needs More Denzel Perryman

Through the first quarter of the 2015-16 San Diego Chargers campaign there have a couple of glaring holes that need to be addressed in order to have a chance at the postseason. The biggest hole would undoubtedly be the defensive effort in stopping the run. The San Diego rushing defense so far has allowed 126.8 yards per game – including 175 to Cincinnati and 163 to Minnesota in losses – which ranks 29th in the NFL. The effort to bottle up even average running backs – such as the Cleveland Browns Duke Johnson and Isaiah Crowell – has been subpar.
