Yes, I did see Griffin break off a few long runs. On both of those plays, the area just beyond the line of scrimmage was wide open. No linebackers or safeties in sight. It looked to me as if the defense wasn't even expecting a run, maybe they were thinking pass.
I was speaking more in terms of QB pressure and collapsing the pocket. Not every single play of course, but more so than what we saw last season.
But yes, I agree that the run defense needs to get much more stout. Remember though, other than Griffin and Daniels, no one on the coaching staff or front office thought it extremely necessary to address the defensive tackle position or our overall ability at stopping the run.
