Over, Under, Base, Nickel and so forth. They all still have gap responsibility.

So when I hear one of our players saying something like, "Well, we play a gap defense, so blah blah blah..."  An appropriate thought is "No [BLEEP], Sherlock.  Everybody does." Yes?

I'm no guru of the X's and O's but it seems clear that a number of players (and fans) might prefer something more exotic to be happening in the scheme. 

But, yes, nearly every 4-3 team spends a lot of time playing "gap defense" as far I can tell. 

Smarter football folks here could tell you more definitively.
