The Tampa 2 usually has a fast, sometimes small, defensive line. The corners need to be versatile in regards to zone and man-to-man coverage. The LBs need to be fluent in coverage. The safeties need to be fast and good in coverage. They're used to make up for nooks in the defense that the corners can't get to. A lot of teams attack the Cover 2 by throwing out slants because that's the toughest playcall for the safeties to get out and cover.
