How 3-4, 2-gaps guys are graded is by how few Olineman they allow through to the second level. Completely different skills used.
shedding to attacks is way harder than penetration to attack
it's also makes the blocking assignments for the Oline easier because the Olineman don't have to worry about quick feet ... just leverage,hands and power. Normally that blocking ease is supposed to be offset by zone blitzes but when you have a DC that doesn't like to blitz ...  |
Gibbs sure called a few more blitzes Mon than RAC normally did.
