I understand wikipedia isn't a "real source" for you college guys, but its interesting to read up on scheme. Actually started with the 70's steelers team, and needs a MLB to "stir the drink together." Do we have the team speed to play this style, if implemented? I know Beason is the MLB to "stir the drink."

Any thoughts?

Try this one. It's a little more in depth.

More On The Tampa 2 Defense

It looks like if we were to employ this defense, say goodbye to lining up CBs 10 yards off the receiver. Tampa 2 requires bumping receivers for successful pass defense. Plus Godfrey and Harris will have a lot of responsibility covering the deep field. But Harris has already played in a Cover 2.

beason would be dropping back and helping fill the soft spots. i think he could handle that.

We've already seen him cover the deep field, he's pretty good at it.

Beason has the mold of a cover 2 backer. He's smaller, solid tackler, and he does well in coverage. I remember that same year we drafted him Cato June was ready to leave Indianapolis, and a lot of people were saying they would've drafted him if he made it to pick #52. Of course, he never did.

So now Meeks has the opportunity to coach the kid he probably scouted heavily prior to the 2007 draft.

the obvious question is our D-line in a tampa2, but can harris cover in the tampa 2? he seems more of a run stopping safety, with some speed concerns, which the tampa2 calls for. can he cover the field? i remember in the giants game, there were some plays down the stretch he was behind in the pack. IMO...maybe im just mistaken.

While the Tampa2 does put a huge burden on your safeties, it's success, more or less, is about the play of the front 7. That's really not all that different than it has been in our defense since 2002. Or since...ever really.

i personally think, for the time of defense we have played, harris is great. he's a hard hitter, run supporter and creates turnovers, which the tampa 2 calls for, turnovers by thier safeties. but then again, arn't all defenses created to cause turnovers?

IMO

If we play Tampa 2, we'll get eaten alive because of the lack of speed and pass rushing ability from our 4 lineman...especially with Peppers gone.

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Its too late for that.  Time has run out.  You dont give him a ext if he plays "decent".  He played "decent" at the end of last year and look what happened.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By woahfraze · Posted

      I’m not necessarily advocating sticking with Bryce. His highs show the ability is there, but there’s enough bad film out there to doubt that he can consistently enough play at a high enough level. But this video from Brett Kollman is a pretty good argument to give it a bit more time, whether that be rolling with Bryce just next year or picking up his 5th year option (not extending him).      The gist is that the structural (wider hashes) and rule (3 yd vs 1 yd thresholds for intelligible offensive lineman downfield penalties) differences in the college and NFL have led to wildly different play calling and scheme diets in college. There is much more shotgun and RPO calls in college and screen/quick throws. This simply doesn’t set up young QBs to be able to play under center, which is more preferred in the NFL due to RBs being able to more effectively run out of that formation.  They don’t know how to do it and have to learn. Yes, the NFL has trended more toward college style offense in the last decade or so, but it isn’t that pronounced and is more out of necessity than desire. And on top of all that, they ask the young QBs to do all this learning with coaching and other personnel churn going on around them.  Bad results lead to coaches getting fired and new ones with different ideas on scheme and footwork and different terminology and playbooks coming in. It makes it harder on those young QBs to learn.     So we may drop Bryce for a young QB starter in the draft and be in a similar situation. With a QB who is going to take years to learn how to operate in an NFL style offense and will struggle along the way.  So you have to weigh whether the struggles we see from Bryce are more due to this learning process vs solely physical limitations on his part. It’s almost undoubtedly a bit of both, but the answer to that question I think dictates your strategy at QB over the next few years. And of course, you have to consider what the alternatives available are.    I’m neither a Bryce hater or a Bryce Stan and I don’t have an answer to that question. But I do fear that if we move on from him, unless it’s for an established player, we’re just in for continued frustration on the QB front because it’s going to take a few years for a college QB to develop (Drake Maye’s don’t grow on trees).
