Seems to me Nnadi wasn't in the right gap, because Jones and Clark on the backside were already lined up in their gaps and weren't moved out of them....

Also looks like Breeland comes free as well, but from the outside....

If Nnadi continues to work to the off side like it seems he was supposed to on some type of stunt, Wilson makes the tackle in the hole...

I'm a huge Jones fan, but he almost allowed a big run play. Nnadi is actually the guy that initially blew that play up and had his gap covered as well. Wilson does a really good job of filling the hole, but the hole is smaller because Nnadi is really ****ing good. The center initially gets his hands inside Nnadi but Nnadi says **** that and is able to knock the C hands off him and then pushed him back to close the hole and Wilson fills it perfectly.

Even though Jones technically had his gap covered he got beat. That G knows the play is designed to run the other way, so he's gonna let Jones have the gap. If Jones is able to control the G while still maintaining his gap, like Nnadi is doing with the C, then there isn't that huge ass cut back lane that you see. Willie Gay Jr. makes a huge play because if Lindsay hits that lane then he's making a big time run and maybe even a TD because he made it into the secondary and Sorenson is the only one with a clear path to him.
