There’s been plenty of reporting early on in camp about the implementation of the Steelers practicing some Cover-2 alignments defensively. Marc wrote a little about that already.
Many, including myself, thought that may not mean a complete overhaul yet and that the Steelers have traditionally mixed up their scheme in the past already. However, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said today in regards to the Cover-2, “It’s going to be a big part of what we do this year.”
Mike Tomlin is a member of the Tony Dungy coaching tree, who’s well known for using his Cover-2, or “Tampa-2″ scheme.
