Not to split hairs, but Greg Williams' defense is based on Cover 2 / Tampa 2 with some wrinkles thrown in. GW likes to bring pressure from the LBs and Corners, which leaves the Safties spliting the field in Cover 2. Cover 2 is not effective with a run-stopping, blitzing SS, look at how bad Arch and our pass coverage was last year.
