I know neither clips reference your package, you said the D is fun to watch, I agreed, up to the point it isnt (fun to watch) I actually love Tampa 2 or whatever you want to call. I think it is a great coverage. I prefer the guy controlling the middle to be some sort of DB (S, C etc) as opposed to a LBer, but you can run it either way. I think, but I dont know for sure, we dont rep it enough to use it in the 4th qtr with the game on the line. Thats all.
The reason I 'cherry' pick these plays is because of my last thought. Do we run this enough to call this D in the 4th qtr with the game on the line? And as mentioned, from they way they play it, it does not appear to me this is the case. If instead, they had gone Man free, something they play alot, and get beat, well then, they beat you and you didnt beat yourself.
FWIW I see the same thing on O. I really wonder why we had to run power read coming off the goal line. I think that is a middle of the field play, in the free wheeling zone. Down there (coming out) you cant have a negative play, imo, so dont put your self in that position. You could run a play that gains nothing and be 2-10, hey you can live with that, but not 2-17 coming out.
Of course they make the big bucks, and pay them like brain surgeons so what do I know. But I do know what gets you ass beat, so I try to stay away from that.
