So I went back and re-watched every play from last weeks game against KC in slow motion and the three things that really stood out were Hightower and Jones. They both play on opposite ends of the line, obviously with Hightower in the OLB position but both of them failed miserably on nearly every outside run they blew their containment and let the RB get outside. KC was obviously targeting these two especially once it became clear that they could not stop it. Hightower was especially bad unable to shed any block on him he was basically an invisible contain man on his side. Jones problem was mainly his over pursuit losing his containment.
Those two were the biggest focus of mine on defense. On offense I just focused on the line and my god... Nearly every pass one of the offensive linemen would let their primary target blow right by them. On rushing plays we had zero push on the line it looked like they were trying to push over a brick wall

. I believe Jones was hurt. Hightower, who knows?.... It looks, mostly, just a lack of urgency and aggressiveness for most players. Like one article I read (sorry cant link from my phone). But on TBs strip sack, Edleman was the only one fighting to get to the ball, while the oline stood there watching with their hands on their hips. Edleman was getting pounced on by a pile of KC linemen. WTF is going on? Defly no leadership. Solder sux the big one, BTW...., SUX!!!
