My impression on why he looked different between 2017 & 2018 is because he might have been tasked with playing a different role.
In 2017 he played with a more traditional NT, allowing him to rush the passer. In 2018 Suh was a better pass rusher so Brockers was asked to play the run and tie up blockers for Suh & Ebukam.
I suspect with Gaines playing the NT position, we'll see Brockers play more like 2017.
It was starting in the 2nd half of the Dallas game, and from that point on for the rest of the season. He moved FROM DT to DE. It's the same position he played in 2018.
