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.

Before yesterday I thought that the high YPC and low rushing attempts against pointed to an unresolved issue. Apparently Seattle banked on that because they kept the game close by running all day (not just that of course...there was also Wilson being Wilson). Seattle ran the ball 32 times, while the previous 4 games teams ran an average of (less than) 19 times a game.
It looks to me like the run D is far from fixed. There are a lot of different reasons, but, it's an issue right now.
It is true that of their 5 games, their best effort against the run was in the Vikes game. But then as of right now the Vikes are 31st in the league in rushing yards and 29th in yards per attempt. So that game was misleading when it comes to that.
