Wow...nice write up, sir. I learned a lot.
So Dallas would be a current example of a 1 Gap 3-4 and Pittsburgh an example of a 2 Gap?
Washington is running which one most of the time...a 1 Gap due to personnel?

I'm going to have to read this one 3 times just to make sure I can pass the post-test! Excited to have KDawg on board as a BGO blogger. We've got, without question, the best fan-produced content/commentary in the Redskins web-o-sphere.
Great first entry
very nice there Dawg!
recommendation: take this defense 101 and apply it to what we have watched all season long with the Skins.....good, bad and the ugly. I know I'd read it closely.
also....and I'm sure you've thought about this...where do you fall (talent being equal) between 3-4 and 4-3? some of the best defenses in the NFL are still 4-3.
Kdawg was simplifying it a bit for non DC types. Its a great write up though and helps with a basic understanding of the 3-4 schemes. best write up ive seen in a while.
Dallas and pittsburgh both run a combo, in dallass, they have one DE who usually two gaps, it used to be canty, now its spears/ that kid they got from san diego. They also sometimes two gap ratliff but they do a great job of playing to his strengths. Pittsburgh often two gaps the nose and sometimes the strong side end. the best 3-4 scheme uses a combination of one and two gap because a strictly one gap 3-4 has too many bubbles unless you run it almost as a 5 front which negates its natural angle advantage and a strictly 2 gap isnt gonna get the pressure that you get from a one gap attacking defence.
We SHOULD be running a one gap if we run a 3-4, thats what Haslett said we would run early on, but we have been running a lot of two gap.
A good example of a mostly two gap would be San Diego but very few 3-4 schemes run exclusively one or the other.
