Something I've noticed about the run D:
DJ didn't play very disciplined in the first 2 games. He got caught over-pursuing several times. Maybe he was trying to compensate for the young guys playing opposite him, or maybe he's just too amped up. He did seem to settle down against the Bears.
Hopefully this is a case of the guys just playing too excited, and they'll settle into their responsibilities with time. The run D was good last year and there's no reason that they shouldn't be this year.
