I agree with both of these that the QB runs off the RPO or just running wide really hurt the defense. But, I don't blame that on the DL, I saw an alignment where the DE/OLB was line up over the tackle and they rush inside instead of setting the edge to funnel the run back inside. I've noticed this before with the Dawg's defense, so that's a coaching/technique thing and not an ability or effort thing. The players are coached to move laterally down the line of scrimmage to pinch the inside run and they give up the edge. Once upon a time, many many years ago, I played OLB/DE and I was coached to always contain the edge and force everything back inside. Maybe this has changed but that's the reason they are giving up big runs to the outside. The good news is that it can be fixed with a technique adjustment.
