They had one of the best run defenses in the league the year before he was drafted, too. In fact:
2010 (Before Aldon): 3.5 YPC allowed
2011 (Aldon plays 50.8% of snaps): 3.5 YPC allowed
2012 (Aldon plays 95.5% of snaps): 3.7 YPC allowed
2013 (Aldon plays 79.9% of snaps): 3.9 YPC allowed
Also, since coming into the league, Von has more stops and half as many missed tackles as Aldon.
