Actually the cover 2 is a defense thats supposed to hide a lack of talent at certain positions.
It requires a good front 4, at least one hard hitting LB and a ground covering safety. The CBs can be average since they get safety help be design and the MLB has to be fast and able to pass cover. The SOLB only has to funnel the play back inside and keep contain on the edge.
Our problem is that we're built for more of a man to man pressure style of D. We have entirely the wrong people for this style of D.
I'm not a fan of the defense since it can be toasted by a TE or slot WR running a deep post however it's not the worst D scheme in the world.
