The Cover 2 worked in Tampa because of the talents of the players, just like Air Coryell worked in St. Louis, the WCO worked in San Fran, and the 3-4 worked in Pitt.
Never, ever chase trends. It doesn't work in any sports.
Moneyball. Read it.

Yup.
It's all about talent really. Which is why this team has been getting the same results for a few years now even though the coaching staff has been overhauled. Which is why I laugh at fans that put everything on coaches. You can call a perfect ****ing play and if the WR bobbles the ball, then now it's a "dumb ****" play to the average fan.
Heh. I can remember a game where my team was getting gashed off right tackle. So we shifted the whole defense over 1 shade and brought the sam down to pinch the edge. Result? Kept getting our ass kicked. The adjustment was correct, however their right tackle was just owning our end, and he'd peel off and smash the ****ing sams head in. If you had replaced the end with a guy who could anchor, it doesn't happen.
That's shit most fans don't understand. I still remember my dad asking me why in the hell didn't we give the end some help to stop them. All I could do was shake my head.
