I agree with you on this point.
Dallas has always been able to run the ball on us.
Thankfully Garrett is too fancy with his playcalling to stick to the run.
Our DL isn't playing well yet as unit.
I heard a stat during preseason that suggested that we were especially weak on the offensive left side.
Which would be solved if we just quit messing about and put #92 at RDE already!

-I think our ILB are on point but our OLB have to work on holding the edge.

The LB's except for good ol London Fletcher are having a tough time transitioning on the mental part. They are still learning. Even McIntosh was fooled and caught out of position a few times.
The one disadvantage we have is is our ILB's are smallish, so they can not make up physically when being walled off by a strong OL.
They have to make up for lack of size with speed and smart decision making.
