Tampa 2 Defense

[jt2000]

Can you run it on this years game? I am thinking about installing it in my 335/425 custom playbook as I do have a couple 4-3 formations.

I ran it to perfection with Ohio State as a defensive coordinator.

A bit of background, thanks to great recruiting we had a record setting defense where we would only play two safeties and bring pressure from somewhere else on every play.

So yeah, if you're talented as a team this is one of the best defenses.

what formations and play types do you use? cover 2, cover 2 man, and cover 2 blitzes only? Take rest of the cover plays out?

Cover 2 man mostly, with zones on third and long. Blitzes every first and second down. We used cover 4 on longer then 10 yards.

Just make sure you have a great line and corners or you'll get toasted by the offense.

Do you use the 4-3 or 4-3 multiple pb? So, take all cover 3 plays out?

4-3 multiple, the blitzes are better in that one. I think it's the best playbook in the game, along with the BYU offense.

And yeah, you can take cover 3 out or only use it sparingly when you need to mix up your playcalling.

One more question. Do you do the as you do for the 4-3 for the rest of the formations in that playbook? nickle, dime, etc....
