This is what happens when the DT stunts or hits the wrong gap.
There were no stunts on that play.
The Rams showed zone run right then the RB cut back inside.
The 1-tech flowed to the play-side as required in the scheme.
The 3-tech was on the backside and fell down. This was the primary fail.
Vander Esch got boxed out to the offensive-right on the same side as Jaylon which should never happen.
The 3-tech falling down made it easier for the OL to get out to block Vander Esch.
The 3-tech on that play was Caraun Reid. He is now out of football. He was signed, cut and re-signed last season by the Cowboys.
The play demonstrates my basic point. The 1-tech was flowing to the play-side when Rams showed outside zone run to the right.
Move a LB outside the LDE, have the LDE squeeze the gap inside the RT (play-side B gap) and the 1-tech can play straight ahead instead of sideways.
The backside DT (3-tech) fell down in part because he was moving sideways.
