That is why I was ok with trading AD, he is no a plug and stuff 3-4 lineman, he is a pass rushing and disruptive play making 4-3 DT. I am not sure I saw this right but it was like nobody had gap containment. In a 3-4 the DL are responsible for two gaps and to keep the LB's clean.
and are running a hybrid 3-4, a one-gap 3-4. Our DLmen are not two-gapping in Phillips's 3-4. It'snot the same as what was run back in the 1970s and 1980s.
"defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said during the week that he would hold Donald to a “pitch count.” Donald did not play in every series and often came off the field.
Fatigue was not a factor in his performance,
Donald said, and neither was playing in Phillips’ 3-4 scheme for the first time.
“It’s the same as a 4-3, honestly,” Donald said.
