cover 2 vs tampa 2

tell me boys, what is your #1 cover 2 beater in a balanced set and from 3x1. defense guys tell me your thoughts about tampa 2. at our level I think the idea of running tampa 2 is great, but how many high school teams have mike lb's that can run the pipe/pole/middle like wanted. i think its possible in obvious passing situations, but as a normal d/d situation I see issues with it. My favorite 2 beater is simply smash games. I think corners have got better at playing underneath the corner routes, but for my money its still a very simple read for the qb and with post tags, etc this concept is money. My #1 issue witht he smash is the qb being greedy and not taking the short throw.
