This one is easy. We just need more discipline. The huge holes are opening because our interior linemen are being over-aggressive. They need to stay home, plug their gaps, and do their jobs.

They are young and overeager and they want to get to the football. Unfortunately this has led to lack of leverage in the hole and over-pursuit in the backfield.

weak. therefore, we can't run the ball.
QB has no touch on short to mid passes,
can't execute screens or quick slants

Much harder to fix. But if we can open up the playbook a bit on first down that would work wonders in terms of making the run blocking a bit easier.

Personally, I also think Harris just gives you more options out there, and opens up the D more than Jennings.
