In terms of describing Wms defense, you just described Wade's Rams defense too.
And I like Wade. I think he's one of the 2-3 best DCs in the game. But he has some personnel issues at the moment. So did Wms.
I honestly don't believe there are waterproof black n white narratives for any of this. (I also believe it's okay to use mixed metaphors.)
...
I dunno. I think Wade's D has shown more discipline in the Run game. I watched that Viking game and i focused on the Run D. And it looked just fine to me. I never thought GW's D really mastered the Run D.
Granted Wade's D gave up oodles of plays in the pass game, but they still made the Vikes one-dimensional and so i was purty confident they would win in the end. Especially since i was watching NFL-replay and i knew the final score.

The run was a weakness last year and still is. Rams D is 7th in rushing yards, but that's misleading. It's also the 2nd least run against defense and yet allows 4.6 a carry which is 21st. So they haven't stopped the run, the offensive scoring machine has forced opponents to pass not run.
Our bitter dark rivalry continues, I see. We are destined to never agree on anything. This feud spans decades and goes back to the last century.
All because I said Vermeil was a CEO style coach.
Your bitterness about that statement will never end I guess. '
Oh well.

Well aside from the stats what do your eyeballs tell you about Wade's run D versus Greg W's run D ?
To me, looks like the run D is better under wade. Especially the up the gut run-D.
I'm talkin this year, not last year.

That they are far more similar than different. They're both attacking one gap defenses, and as a result,. both can get gashed a lot.
Wade is working with some personnel issues right now. I think he's the better coordinator but that doesn' t make Wms a bad one, he's a good one too.
I think Wade's strength is half-time adjustments.
Statistically the Wms defenses were better against the run. No Wms. Rams run defense was as bad as Wade's 2017 run D was. You can see that in yards per carry.
2014: ranked 15th
2015: ranked 14th
2016: ranked 10th
2017: ranked 30th
But that doesn't mean Wade's D can't get better.
