I'm most concerned about the run defense as well. The absence of a run-stopping behemoth in the middle is going to be a problem. From the trio of Noble, Haley and Salave'a, the Skins need to find a guy who can anchor the middle alongside Griffin. Griffin is known more as a penetrator, not an anchor. Haley has the size, and can play adequately when not injured. Noble has the motor, and a history of anchoring well, but again the injury is a concern. Salave'a is more in the penetrator mold, and lacks the overwhelming size to fit the bill.
It will be a lot easier for guys like Griffin, Upshaw, Wynn and Daniels to get into the backfield if there's a big man in the middle drawing double-teams and clogging running lanes.
