3-4 One Gap Or Two Gap?

Rugby Saint II · 01-30-2013, 03:03 PM

Since we are going to the 3-4 would you rather run the one gap or two gap scheme? And why?

Danno · 01-30-2013, 03:08 PM

With our current personnel, 1-gap

If we get that massive 2-gap NT then a 2-gap.

It also depends on the opponent. I hear the 2-gap 3-4 is weak against the new spread option some teams are using.

I'd imagine we'd likely play both a lot during games, but as a base defense, personell will probably dictate which one we use.

Crennel typically runs with the 2-gap 3-4.

NT governs us and right now we are 1 gap like danno said

Devil's advocate ... what happens if you get a stud NT for 2-gap and he goes down? Do teams revert to the 1-gap?

I would suppose so. Not really a huge shift if I read the article on the two types correctly. Different gap assignments but basically the same skill set for all involved.

All things for the new d. Coordinator to discuss with us. BTW..... Best nt in the draft IMO senior bowl standout Brandon Williams (small school guy) Missouri southern...... They are projecting him in the 3rd or 4th round right now.

Get the Niners Assistant DC and we have both covered.

Quality of NT is crucial.
