Was that the impression anyone here was left with? My overwhelming impression is that of him following Big Q into the 3-gap? (I'm not completely fluent with the terminology). But aside from a few runs that he busted outside, I thought he got most of his yardage between the tackles.
Maybe I'm just still buzzing from that double-juke run he had. I echo others here who have called it the best run of his career. Just Barry Sanders-esque.

Gaps are pretty simple. The A gaps are on either side of the center. B gaps are outside shoulder of the guards. C gaps are outside shoulder of the tackles. Some teams will change those to numbers, but the concept is the same.
It’s hard to run outside on the Texans because of their speed. I think you are right he started inside and a few he worked his way outside.
