English makes a lot of sense for you guys though.. he's kind of a jack of all trades defender with excellent sideline to sideline speed.. he can get after the passer and more importantly, should he be kind of what Derrick Brooks was for Tampa.. is he can cover. He's not a liability back there, and as is well known.. in the Tampa 2 scheme.. you need your LB's, particularly the Sam and Will ones.. to be able to cover the flats and the spots left vacant by the corners playing their zones.
I agree. That is why he is the front-runner right now. However, the Tampa-2 is not really going to be the scheme that Bates runs. He will run some principles of the Tampa-2, but, this will be his defense. More bump-n-run, man-to-man coverage. Bigger bodies on the interior, etc.
