With any defense this is the tradeoff... Some are able to shrink this gap better than others,

At the DE position when you get up the field to the point 5 or 7 steps behind the Center you might get to the QB but you might let the RB run right by... the same is true for Inside DL's if you pick a gap to move up field the OL will push you through the hole...

GW wants chaos, gold helmets flying around looking to decleat or decapitate dudes. The old saying tackle the Runningback on your way to the Quaterback !

I like chaos, but don't be suprised if we continue to give up big plays on defense, the thinking is we will hopefully create some big plays as well especially as the season rolls on.
