Which defensive scheme is Dungy known for implementing?
Blitzburgh Defense
46 Defense
Cover 3
Tampa 2
Answer
The Tampa 2 defense, popularized by Tony Dungy during his coaching tenure with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is characterized by a Cover 2 zone coverage in the secondary, combined with a zone blitz scheme that emphasizes pressure from the linebackers and safeties. This scheme aims to create confusion for opposing quarterbacks by disguising coverages and blitzes, making it challenging for offenses to predict and exploit weaknesses.
