Do you think our defense should switch to more of a cover 2 scheme.
I know Asante can play man, but his bread and butter is reading and reacting to the QB. You cannot do this as much in a man scheme, if you do....well....see Jason David's stats for '07.
Both David and Asante are not just good but great at sitting on routes and reacting to the QB. If they were playing in a cover 2 scheme they would have help over the top and could keep their head in the backfield to jump routes.
This is just a though I had, especially since the only player on our team now that WAS capable of covering man-to-man will be recovering from major knee surgery at an older than ideal age for his position.
I wouldn't mind them moving to more of a cover 2 scheme. You could have JD and Asante at corner and move MM to safety to replace Bullocks. This would still allow you to move Harper into the box during blitzing and running situations and you would have a guy back there in MM that has proven that he can cover and stay deeper than everyone. This would also benefit MM since I am sure he will be a step or two slower after he rehabs.
What are your opinions?
