If I remember right, both long runs were a result of breakdowns within the scheme, not necessarily guys doing things physically wrong like missing tackles. In the last two games guys are obviously more comfortable within the scheme, most notably the D-Line (Dalton especially) and Monty. In the Ravens game I think Jamal Lewis only had 2 longish runs. The first one was just a nice playcall with the misdirection pitch with our D collapsing to the middle and the other run was late in the game. There definitely are signs of improvement all over the place and it will be real interesting how we do against Jacksonville because they are definitely not a great offensive team.
