1-gap 3-4 defenses are pretty rare. If I'm not mistaken they're often called an "attack" 3-4. The Cowboys sort of run this...
But mostly in a 3-4 it's going to be 2-gap.
You see more 1-gap in 4-3 defenses....Glenn Dorsey was drafted to be a 1-gap defender, get up the field and make plays. Of course last year our moronic coaches had him playing head up on guards trying to play 2-gap.
Smaller, quicker defenders = 1 gap
Bigger, stouter defenders = 2 gap
