They don't need him to be as good as DJ Jones. Improvement on the back end along with a hopefully improved pass rush is going to put the defense in a better position overall. If they can get anything out of Kinlaw then that would be another boost. Find a guy that can take some snaps and handle the run. You don't need him to be a world beater, just hold up inside and eat some double teams.
We may go from top 3 in run D to top 10. No big deal. We improved in coverage with the Ward signing so that outweighs the drop in run D
Kinkaw was good vs the run, he actually swatted some passes which no Niner D lineman could really do and if he's out, Givens isn't bad at all
