How do you defeat this type of defense? Answer: Run right through it.

unmentioned weakness is a wheel route out of the backfield...you have a linebacker on a back in VERY open space so long as you have the receiver vacate that zone....

Nice verks

@think4everyone no its not, this is cover 2 man, tampa 2 is a zone coverage very different. In a tampa 2 the CB's play zone on the outside the safety;s play deep halves , the M backer plays middle zone & the outside backers play the seams. tony dungy when he used it had a great d line & only needed 4 to rush the passer making it very difficult. Crossing routes R less effective on a tampa 2 than a cover 2 man defense. the tampa 2 if U have protection can get beat deep it will be 1v1 on a saftey

Is there a technical journal out there that I can get that discusses all this stuff? I'm desperate for something like this.

@think4everyone in a tampa 2 the mlb plays a "tad" bit deeper in the middle of the field but its virtually the same

@urgoing21134 cover 2 is basically a tampa 2, what he showed here is a tampa 2

@think4everyone this is not a Tampa 2... is a Cover 2 Man
The cover 2 man is also vulnerable to a QB that can run. If it's third and six and you are playing against Micheal Vick, and you call Cover 2 man. All Vick needs is an opening on the D- line and he will pick up an easy 15 yards with his feet. You could spy him, though a spy is more effective in a cover one. The good news is this sort of defense is usually called against a pocket passer.

In cover 2 man the two safeties have deep halves while the corners and all the linebackers are playing man to man coverage. Exactly what was explained in the video. In the tampa 2 the safeties still have deep halves. The corners are now responsible for the flats. Your outside linebackers now have hook to curl. And the middle backer is responsible for the middle deep hole. So if you have a stud mike linebacker it is almost(but not quite) a type of cover 3. So no, this is not a tampa 2.
