I think people freak out when they hear the word 2-gap. I didn't like the negativity when DeVito was signed.
The difference is that Romeo like to run a pure 2-gap. 2-gap all day long. Sutton's defense is going to mirror Rex Ryan's, in that the 3-4 will be 2-gap, but he's also going to throw a ton of 4-3 looks. So his 5-techniques have to be able to also play a conventional 4-3 tackle.
I like Rex Ryan's defense. I think the defense fell short the past few years because of talent.
