If said defense can depend on their front seven to consistently make plays stopping the run, then yes. Of course the D-line and 'backers aren't going to make every play, but if they're making the majority, then I think it's an adjustment that will have to be made. The trend seems to be heading toward speed in linebacker units right now. If a defense can be built around speed both in the secondary and in their linebackers, I don't think run support is going to be a huge problem for them.
