While I agree that our run d has been shabby, I also noticed a ton of holding, more than normal almost every snap. I understand that there is always some holding going on every snap, but this was egregious arm bent behind the back trying to get to the QB holding, especially on our DE's. Tackling was not great, to much focus on trying to strip the ball. I don't know enough to guess on the gap assignment side of things. There is stuff that can be fixed, I also think there is a bug rolling through the team as there have been a few players sick every week for a while now. Remember Sherm at that interview where he was sweating like crazy as it went on. This could explain a lot of what we have been seeing as far as guys not showing up sometimes.
