DLine play was pretty scary

Watch the DL on running plays. They were clearly playing 2 gap on almost every play. 43 or 34 is not a one gap or 2gap distinction. On every running play you see this:
The DL engage their blocker and attempt to control the gap on either side. Some DL break into the backfiled, particularly when their man pulls (and they get trapped) or in a couple of cases when Cunningham was wide on the TE and the TE blocked down.



We have to keep in mind that one gap or two gap when the OL drop steps into pass protection, there is no difference in what the call was (unless there is a stunt) because they will rush the passer. The slight difference is that the one gap player is firing toward a gap while the 2 gap player is firing toward the player, but thats pretty inconsquential.

I looked again. Not much 2-gap, if any. The DL was trying to shed blockers not hold them up.
