Hardy Pyle Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I know very little about the defence and I couldn't have written that article. I was hoping it was a detailed explanation. If anyone could any anything further, it would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gross Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 For starters, in the US we spell defense with an 's'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stussy109 Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 The way the cover 2 looks in x's and o's is that the 2 safeties cover the deep side of the receivers path, where as the corners cover underneath. The linebackers also drop back into zone with the OLB's going off to the sides to cover outside runs/passes and screens, with the MLB covering medium/deep range over the middle. The DL is relied on for all pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Not necessarily, that is what the smaller, quicker DT's are for. McCargo and Tripplett fit the mold of the penetrators, instead of the large run stuffers everyone says we need (cause thats the way the previous defensive schemes required the DT's to be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone could any anything further, it would be appreciated. 699970[/snapback] hope this helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tampa_2 Pass Defense The Tampa 2 is a variation of the Cover 2 formation in which all pass responsibilities are zone coverage (instead of Man-to-man). Zone coverage is where players are assigned an area on the field which they are to cover: *The safeties and middle linebacker cover the deep half: areas of the field usually extending from about 15 yards beyond the line of scrimmage to the endzone, divided into thirds by the middle of the field). The middle linebacker drops into deep coverage, making what first looks like a Cover 2 into a Cover 3. *The cornerbacks cover the flats: the area of the field extending about 15 yards from the line of scrimmage, and from the last man on the offensive line to the sideline. *Outside linebackers cover the box: the two outside linebackers split the middle of the field consisting of the area within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and in between the two flats into halves. Run defense *To defend running plays, the Tampa 2 is a single gap defense where each player is responsible to defend his own gap. The assigned gap changes with game conditions and personnel. *Typically this style of defense utilizes smaller but faster linemen and linebackers with above average speed. Also the defensive backs must be above average hitters as well. Footballoutsiders also has a great site to help explain the system. I hope this helps explain it for ya. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/ramblings.php?p=167&cat=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
