It's a situational thing, typically used in conjunction with a blitz. From what you've been saying so far, I think that we're talking about two entirely different things.
You are hampering Geno Atkins as a penetrating defensive lineman in a 2 gap front because it forces him to take on blockers more than penetrating...
That is literally the difference between single and 2 gap. The defensive line first and foremost takes on the block reads the play and chooses a gap. In a single gap they just penetrate.
