Houston disengages as the RB approaches the hole and squeezes inside to stop that play for a 1-2 yard gain.

Ford did what he’s supposed to do. The ILB is supposed to flow and fill after ford sets the edge. Ideally he’d disengage and make a tackle but first and foremost he has to keep everything turned inside to pursuit.
That’s on Eligwe and the other ILB who have both seemed pretty meh.
