Misconceptions About Lovie Smith's Defense

I've seen a lot of people here and members of the media talk about how the new Bucs coach Lovie Smith will bring in the Tampa Two defense to be the primary defense in Tampa. Many people think that because that is the defense he learned in Tampa, brought to St. Louis, and used a good amount in Chicago. What people don't realized however, is that the primary coverage used by Lovie during his last few years in Chicago was Cover 1 which is a form of man coverage. Think about how we all started hearing about Tillman and Jennings at corner. The bottom line is that Lovie designed a defense to fit his players in Chicago.Here is a tweet from a former player who is now a sports writer and a guy who follows the Bears heavily. @MattBowen41 #Bucs will play much faster on D under Lovie Smith + they have the talent to produce...Look for Cover 1, 3, zone/man-pressure & 2-Deep.Sure the Bucs will play Cover 2 and Tampa 2 at times, like every other defense in football, but there are NO teams in the NFL that play primarily Tampa 2 anymore. Lovie and Marinelli will design a defense to fit the players they have which is **CENSORED**ing awesome. Steve White, a guy that many of us here greatly respect as a writer and former player, said that if this team had had Lovie and Marinelli this past year they would have been a top five defense. And he just tweeted this. @sgw94: Read: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A "TAMPA 2" COACH. NOOOOOOBODY CALLS TAMPA 2 ALL THE DAMN TIME. ALMOST EVERYBODY CALLS IT SOME OF THE TIMEThere was so much wasted talent on this team. You guys think McCoy looked good? Sheridan wasted him frequently. People are worried that there is no place for Revis. There absolutely will be. As Matt Bowen said, look for Cover 1, 3, and 2-Deep coverage. Revis will ball here. The only question is whether a new GM would want to pay him that money, but if he is here, he will lock it down.I am predicting, actually guaranteeing, this will be a top five defense next year. I can't **CENSORED**ing wait.

...so no more AC in coverage, McCoy dropping back, and DTN in the game? I think Adrian Clayborn gets moved to DB full time. Clayborn Island. It's a small island... but it's still an island. LOL!

hahahaha yes.

Bill Polian was one of the guys saying the stuff about Cover 2. I mean, this guy was an NFL GM, and now he comes off as a dumb ass fan. It's absurd. Posted : Jan. 2, 2014 4:47 pm
