He's talented enough to jump a gap and make a TFL, but if he whiffs it and there isn't a gang behind him, it goes for yardage. You just don't see the best defenses do that shit.

It's just one of those things you don't notice until you start looking for it. Then you notice it a LOT.
I mean you have Williams in a 0 technique (sorta; would you call that a 1 shade?) and Ogbah pretty clearly manning the C gap.
It has to be wishful thinking for Jacobs to sit there and say "yeah, Ogbah at the C, Williams drawing a double in the As...I'm sure it was Jones responsibility to just
abandon the B gap in favor of crashing inside.
His athleticism is obscene - even on that play you see him doing shit that other guys just cannot do. But I don't know how many times you can watch the guy freelance like that and just ignore it. He's so clearly doing his own thing out there at times that it makes team defense awfully difficult.
And lemme tell ya - if he keeps getting doubled as often as he was getting doubled on Sunday, that's only going to get worse. He'll see every chance he has to split a gap as a breath of fresh air and he'll take it.
