Run to Ziggy ,Woodley and Foote side and you can gauge this defense.
Get that fat, big-mouth, celebrate-but-do-nothing Ziggy Hood OUT OF THERE, and put someone in there who can play the run (i.e. McLendon)! Can you imagine what the Houston Texans will do to this run defense (thinking about what they did to us last year).
Zig had a few nice stops near the end of the game.
The defense adjusted to what the Chiefs were doing to them and played well in the second half. Woodley and Hood were making plays and when Hood wasn't making the play he taking on double teams to free up backers. Hood played well in the second half.

Hood played well? If they go at you 100% of the time, you are bound to fall into a play or two.

Agreed. Hood sure didn't play like I want to see a Steeler lineman play. And Woodley has been a disappointment as well. Teams still play like they're afraid of Harrison...no one's afraid of Woodley right now.
Hood was a dissapointment. I can't stick up for him anymore. they replaced him with WOODS even.. maybe to give him a breather. who knows..

Woodley at his best is a very average run defender.

You are correct, Pap...
The Chiefs ran the ball 8 times to the right for 26 yards and up the middle 5 times for 16 yards in the second half, the Chiefs absolutely gouged them with the run game to the right and middle in the second half. Darn, I forgot, Lebeau doesn't adjust to anything, what was I thinking? :HeadBanger
The first half was ugly and the first quarter was scary bad as the Chiefs ran to the right 12 times or 62 yards in the first half. The first quarter was 8 runs to the right for 52 yards, so that leaves the second quarter at 4 runs to the right for 10 yards. I think you're letting the first quarter skew your perception of what actually happened on the field after the first quarter.
