i dont know how many times i've been watching games, and his playcalling literally looked like :leon: "let me try this, this might work"


granted, this SC defense cant tackle for shyt, but :to:

this musta been what Dan Marino felt when that 99 Jacksonville squad murked his life in the playoffs.

Give me Sapp, Brooks, Rice, Lynch, Ronde ... who else am I missing. I can run any defense

I never understood what the Tampa 2 was

It's a cover 2 defense and the middle linebacker drops back deep in coverage if he reads pass. But the strength of the Tampa 2 back in the day was the pressure that front 4 got with sapp, simeon rice, mcfarland and company. You going to get ate if that front 4 can't get pressure.

Monte came to South Central..and them Defenses turned to asscheeks.. Crenshaw and Dorsey coulda run all over them defenses.

I've always hated the Tampa 2, I feel like if Gruden isn't on that bucs sideline in the Superbowl then this defense wouldn't of gotten all this acclaim like that. Take this team back to that 3/4 life.

His d wasn't that bad in tennessee. His biggest problem is he can't scheme against the spread for shyt, and his lbs suck so he always has a safety in the box(usually tj mcdonald who I think is mad overrated) and lastly any team that gets no pressure is gonna get ate up in the pass game, its just they cant stop the run either to balance it out

Stick to basketball breh. :usure:

That D was a handful:ohlawd:

With better qbs, they woulda had more acclaim.

The system is one thing, but it took more than 4yrs for those players to perfect the system. Dungy had Indy in Tampa 2 and they're D was only brolic when Sanders was healthy and Freeney was beasting.

Exactly. Sap use to get tripled team and sh1t. Them dudes were beast. CHI didn't get good again till they got pass rushers.

the scheme needs great players, and they have almost nothing there

i like Dion Bailey, Robey and McDonald are trash. not sure how much better their D can be until they get more physical and get better corners

I'm not sayin that Tampa defense wasn't vicious, Sapp and Rice alone were a handful and you still had way more nikkaz on deck. But they knew the Raiders offense in and out so to me the shyt was too easy for them.

nah, that defense was sick before Gruden got there. :usure:

if anything, Gruden jumped on the bandwagon, not the other way around.

Holding the 99 Rams to no TDs until that miracle play to Ricky Proehl :wow:

I don't care how yall view it, Tampa played for the Superbowl in Philly. The Raiders stood no chance with Gruden on their sideline and a defense like that at his disposal. I wonder how it woulda looked if they went against an offense they didn't have the playbook for. :yeshrug:

Funny you guys mention Gruden. Because Lane Kiffin reminds me a lot Gruden. average coach who seem to be rated highly by management(or ADs).
