Correct me if I am wrong but this is how i see the Tampa 2

The primary difference between the base 4-3 D and the tampa 2 is found at the middle linebacker position (MIKE) where they are not only responsible for run support but are also prone to drop back in pass coverage, sometimes deep coverage normally reserved for a safety.

The secondary isn't a complicated scheme. It's a "cover 2″ shell with the safeties covering "over the top" of corner backs.

The "cover 2″ essentially has the safeties dividing the field in half with each covering their respective side. The "Tampa 2," when the MIKE position drops into coverage, essentially changes the coverage to a "Cover 3," or the backfield divided into thirds versus halves.

The premium ingredient is having the right personnel in place. A MIKE that can handle both run support and effectively cover the defensive backfield with as much speed and talent as a safety isn't as simple as it may seem.

That's an excellent description. There are minor differences w/ the DTs, with one of the two DTs being freed up for more one-on-one opportunities (the Sapp role when he lined up w/ Booger McFarland).

My thinking is that there are lots more fast undersized LBs on the college level than, say, big oversized LBs that you'd need for something like the 3-4. Plus, it should also be easier to integrate young CBs, because it's more about "attitude" & preparation than pure speed in this system. Plus, Kiffin is the MASTER. I couldn't imagine anyone -- especially someone worried that they might never bulk up to a 250 pound LB -- not wanting to be play for Kiffin!

Also, if you remember, when Jon Gruden was fired from the Bucs, LOTS of players came out of the woodwork to complain about him. Right?

But when Monte left, NO ONE complained. Instead, they ALL sung his praises.

Chavis's defense was great last year, but no one in college can compare with Monte Kiffin's genious. Hell, there were only a few guys in the NFL that could.

Thas not really correct there,,,, with Gruden leaving, a back up reciever named Clayton and Garcia the QB along with some past (Keyshon on ESPN) did complain,,, when Monte left I did hear Warren Sapp say he was not the genius everyone thinks he is -- but Warren is no genius by any standards so that is a draw.

Warren did like CLK though.

monte is getting up in years and may not connect with high schoolers as well, but it still seems to me if i was a top rated def player and wanted to prepare myself for the NFL, where better to go. Watch out for the 2010 recruiting class to be the best at tennessee in a very long time.

He connected with Rivals #1 player in the country Bryce Brown. He might be an offensive player, but I don't think that matters.

Quote:
"Coach Monte Kiffin is high energy and hilarious. You can see why he's been so successful over the years with the Buccaneers," Brown said. "He really made me feel at home and I enjoyed him. For him to come to Tennessee and support his son in this way shows me a lot about him and Tennessee's commitment to winning."

No hints, but Brown gushes about UT : Football Recruiting : GoVolsXtra.com

I hope we have the right core of players to run the tampa 2. It takes a damn good MLB to run it right.

I hope the players listen to this man and learn from him. If they can absorb this system quickly, we are going to be a force to be reckoned with, sooner than later!! Get yo popkone READY!!:popcorn:

I agree. Monte is a very personable "people person". From what I've seen he is high energy and likes to interact with everybody, regardless of their social status. Most people gravitate towards somebody that is friendly and upbeat all the time.

Thats a great point, one thing you would notice down here was during training camp the defense was always laid back and united and the offense was always disjointed and wondering where they stood. Last year was a mess with the rumors of Farve coming in and Garcia getting his feelings hurts. Thats the thing people dont realise with Gruden is he dosent have good people skills when it comes to his players. I honestly think if Monte didnt end up announcing he was going here and was a tad younger he would have been named head coach for the Bucs.

Monte is easily the best D coordinator in the SEC. His D will give meyer and saban all kinds of problems.

Howdy Vols. Uh, you guys had a good D last year and got smoked. Monte's good years were with GREAT players. Without those great players he has had an average D at best. I can't for the life of me think how you can say he is the best D coordinator without playing a down. Your players have just now begun to learn his scheme. Maybe after the spring you "might" have an idea of what it will look like but right now it is all talk and nothing less. You may be right and he may be friggin fantastic. But it is too early to tell and I think even you believe that deep down inside. I, for one, would call the guy who held the highest scoring offense in the history of the NCAA to 24 pts the best but hey, who am I to judge. Good luck in your off season. I hope your boys are training hard. I know ours are. See you the 19th day in sept. Go Gators

Uh, yea I have been keeping up with them. I live in the Bucs backyard. I have seen them stink it up for a while now. From 2008 counting back to 2002 thier total team D has been 17th, 18th, 29th, 23rd, 22nd, 10th, and 24th. I don't believe middle of the road would warrant best D coordinator in the SEC. 1 good year in six. Not so goon imo

Obviously not.

2008 - 9th
2007 - 2nd
2006 - 16th
2005 - 1st
2004 - 5th
2003 - 5th
2002 - 1st

Looks a tad better than middle of the road to me...
