The "New" Bears D.C. MUST Evolve The Defense
I'll say this once, so pay attention. EVERY TEAM IN THE NFL HAS A COVER 2 DEFENSE (and many now have the Tampa 2) IN THEIR PLAYBOOK. First off, sorry for shouting, and secondly, that CAPTARD moment wasn't for everyone, just the stubborn bunch that constantly criticize the Bears pass defense...
Tampa 2, Cover 2; What do the Bears do?
There's been other blogs that looked at what the Bears do defensively, other breakdowns done, but coming from a coaching/teaching perspective, it's best to learn through repetition. I may touch on something that makes sense in a way that was misunderstood before, or I may hit on something...
Will new Colts defensive coordinator Larry Coyer change the Colts defense?
This comment from monstersbox got me thinking: A 4-2-5 [defense] is a nickel. It’s called a strong nickel or a big nickel. But with 3 safeties instead of 3 DBs while playing what looks like a 4-4-3. They only used it when Bob came back, but they used it. Hagler was playing like a safety when...
"Tweaking" the Tampa-2: What did Jim Caldwell mean?
As I have said since Tony Dungy retired, the Colts are not going to switch to a new defensive scheme. Indy will run the same Tampa-2 defense they have run since 2002. It will rely on pressure from the d-line with the LBers and DBs mostly dropping back into zone coverage. Jim Caldwell has made this...
Tampa Bay no longer running Tampa-2: How does this affect the Colts?
Ew! Old man sweat. Photo: cache.daylife.com The retirement of Tony Dungy and the semi-retirement of Monte Kiffin (yes, coaching for his friggin son at Tennessee sure sounds like semi-retirement to me) really meant the end of an era for the NFL. Just like Tom Landry and Chuck Noll before them,...
Tony Dungy: Defense displayed a "lack of hustle"
Go back and listen to Tony Dungy's press conference from Monday and you will hear some very troubling statements. Not troubling in the sense that OMG we are toast, but troubling in the sense that certain characteristics that are NOT characteristic of the Colts occurred during the Jaguars game. In...
Preview Week Three: Jaguars at Colts
It is rare one gets a "must win" game in September, but that is the way it is looking for the Jacksonville Jaguars. It is a big game for the Colts as well. All division games are big. But, for the Jags, this is do or (perhaps) die. Starting 0-3, losing two division games in the process, is a pretty...
Great article on Colts new MLBer Buster Davis
Buster Davis doesn't care what you think about his "size."Photo (cropped): DetroitLions.com Even though I personally am 6'5 and weigh 200 pounds, I root for the little guy. Always have. So, I am more than a little pleased that the Colts have signed former-Florida star LBer...

Football University - Cover Two Systems
A lot of folks know about the popular Cover Two system. At the same time, there is a lot of misunderstanding about this system. Some common myths: Cover Two is a formation. Cover Two and Tampa Two are the same thing. Cover Three is a system. Two deep safeties is what a Cover Two...
