It's a personnel problem mostly. Our front 7 is just light in the pants. Abry Jones was a backup 3 tech that got forced to play starting 1 tech when Roy Miller got hurt. He overachieved and the team decided to just let him stay in that role despite not being best suited for that role. Other than that Yannick is among the worst run defending DEs in the game and our nickel linebackers are both small.

It's a trade off that the team is willing to make for the sacks and ball hawking LB abilities, and I don't necessarily disagree with it. The only thing that could really improve going forward is getting a true run stuffing 1 tech like Roy or Pot Roast in the offseason. The rest of the personnel is pretty locked in as is.
