Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 1602470, member: 874"] I'm certainly not an expert, but it has always seemed to me that for a tampa 2 to be really good you have to have a dominant disruptive d-line, something we've rarely had. The teams that ran it that I'm most familiar with are the Tampa Bay teams in the article and the Dungy Indianapolis teams. Tampa Bay had Warren Sapp and the Indianapolis teams had Mathis and Freeney. And even with Mathis and Freeney those Indianapolis teams seemed to always be soft up the middle, relying on the offense to get a lead so that teams would have to throw to get back in it and allow Mathis/Freeney to pin their ears back. As excited as I am about having a hyper-aggressive offense, I'm disappointed that it sounds like we're going to sit back in a bend but don't break defense. The article mentions that there is room to get creative out of it. I hope we see some of that. [/QUOTE]
