jidady Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Now that everyone is back in the habit of checking PF again (I missed you guys!), can one of you help me out with something? I've seen several people say we're running the cover-2 now. When all of the coaching hires were announced, I was a bit under the weather, so I apparently missed this at some point along the way. Can one of you link me or cut and paste the comments made about our running this scheme now? Is it Smith's idea or VanGorder's or TD's?

Is it Smith's idea or VanGorder's or TD's? everyone just assumed since Smith ran a varied form of the cover 2 in JaK and BVG Base was a Cover 2 at UGA so everyone just assumed that we would go to a cover 2 if I have it right.

londonfalcon Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yup, you are right on them not saying they will do this.They have said they will use players strenghts rather than force them into a role.I did read but don't remember who said it, that Jimmy Williams would excell in what they were planning hiim for.

michaelgee Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I think the only official comment so far is that we will have a defense.other than that, anything you hear is just speculation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdonawire Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 He will coach to the strenght of the players, and that is man on man.The cover 2 is majority zone we have coners that like man coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jidady Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 See, that was my thought. If we are transitioning to cover-2, our secondary personnel are backwards. Our best two are speed/press/physical guys. But if this is a long term goal, I guess we can work it out over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irons, houston, grimes williams woulds all work well in a cover 2 scheme but hall is a man cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were picked because they are simular to Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Maguire Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah he never said he would go to Cover 2, it's just an assumption. I hope he truly schemes to his players strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
