Different coaches have different tweaks to it. Thing I always hated about it was that I found that it was very easy fir the D to fall apart if someone missed an assignment. Though to be fair I was a much better O coach than D and spent my time mostly working with O and kickers. So I am no expert by any stretch.Some 2 gaps schemes have the DL read the near offensive linemans initial step- techHaving coached 2 gap, if your players read the keys correctly it can be a great defense. However if you read wrong it usually means you will have a huge hole and/or your LB will be put on an island. To put the scheme in simple words. The Lineman reads the back and plugs the hole, the LB then attacks the open area and shuts the RB down at the line. If done correctly the D-linemen can draw to O-Linemen towards him giving the LB a clear path to the back.
