So by putting both DTs in the A gaps, that is a little different. Though I'm not sure exactly how it changes things for the o-line and their blocking assignments, it apparently worked for us. I think to some extent it clogs and collapses the middle of the line and forces runs to the outside, where a speedy LB like Leonard can make plays.

It makes traps and other inside zone runs more difficult to execute, because there's no 3 technique to trap, which is what the announcers commented on in the broadcast.
