Playing a Cover 2 will make Beason the best LB in the league

Beason has very very good ball skills for a linebacker as well as having "elite" speed. Another MLB that had those same attributes...Brian Urlacher. IMO the main reason that Chicago's D was so good was because of Urlacher playing the middle of the field better than anyone in the league. He was one of the best LB in the history of the NFL and the Cover 2 scheme had a huge part in that. I think that with Ron Meeks and whoever we get as a LB coach, Beason could elevate his game to Urlacher levels and be one of the best the game has ever seen.

cover 2 or tampa 2?

tampa uses the MLB more.

we have been using the cover 2 a lot already and getting chewed up. tampa 2 would most likely have taken the holes away from fitz in the playoffs.

With meeks at DC and Beason at ILB we will be able to run a true tampa 2. The big question is how much pressure can we generate with the front 4 with peppers leaving? Another question is who is going to be our 'Derrick Brooks?' The speed and power he brings from the Sam position is much needed for this defense to work.

I'm sort of liking how it'll make Chris Harris look. Bob Sanders part 2?

Not me. The safety is the most important position in the Colt's scheme - more so than the corners. Without a good safety, our defense will be crap. Maybe Godfrey will step. Don't hold your breath with Harris though.

Agreed, Harris is pretty terrible in coverage. Peppers, Lewis and Charles Johnson all had more pass defenses than Harris this year.

I was under the impression that Beason was already the best MLB in the NFL.

Harris will not be like Bob Sanders, not even close. Godfrey has more of a shot at becoming a star with Meeks(imo).

Harris is best at hitting, and stopping the run, he should be playing more around the LOS.

Hate to break it to you guys.

We have been using a altered version of the "Tampa-2" since Fox got here.

MOST zone D is a variant of the Tampa2.

we have been using cover 2 a good bit and every once in a while flirting with the tampa 2 but we haven't gone to a true tampa 2.

inconsistencies on the dline has made it hard to go to a true one.

hopefully with a restructured coaching staff and dline we can get some consistency.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
