Yeah - why exactly is it referred to as the "Tampa" 2 ??

They couldn't have been the first team to have two safeties deep.

The Tampa 2 isn't quite the same as a cover 2. The Tampa 2 drops the MLB very deep in the middle, so it requires an athletic and speedy MLB who can cover, that's the main difference.
