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.

Yes, but...  They are all not 2-gap every down, only depending on what selected defensive play is called.  So, in the big picture, Geno would likely be playing a 2-gap no more than he's typically used to, over the course of a season.
