Freeney was certainly not a threat if the other team was calling a run play. Mathis either.
They were most of the reason we used to get gashed so hard against the run. How many times would they take an outsize spin/swim loop and completely pass rush themselves out of the play? I can remember a lot
Having said that, both completely one dimension beasts at what they were good at.
For Yannick, he is not nearly a good enough pass rusher/pressure specialist to warrant not contributing dick all to the run. That is why he should be earning half of what the top rushers get, because he's not even that good at what he's supposedly good at.
