Parcells, Belichik, Crennel etc. all play that style of defense. Parcells was running cover 2 back in the 80's way before it was popularized. They like to play the run with 7, 2 gap up front, and drop everybody back to avoid giving up big plays and play good red zone D. Classic bend but don't break defense....give up 3 yards on the ground instead of penetrating trying to drop the back in the backfield...let the QB complete a 5 yard pass in front of the backers instead of selling out to the QB and giving something up down the field. If the linebackers and safeties are good tacklers it's very frustrating for opponents because they have to go on long drives to score.
