TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS "COVER 2" A.K.A. THE "TAMPA TWO" DEFENSE PLAYBOOK

The "Cover 2" or "Tampa Two" Defense was recently re-made famous by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under the tutelage of Tony Dungy.  Originally the scheme was introduced to Dungy by the team that drafted him, the Pittsburgh Steelers.  Dungy was an interception leader on the Steel Curtain in 1978 and it was his awareness and application of the principles outlined in the Tampa Two or Cover 2 defense.
