Tampa 2, throught he eyes of Wikipedia

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.
    • I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.
    • I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
