Obviously it depends on the matchups but I think the base coverage will probably be Cover-3 Zone Robber, especially against the AFC East. That’s what they played mostly when Rodney Harrison was playing.
Against Peyton, Romo, Luck and maybe Eli we’ll probably see more Cover 2, mixing man and zone, with Harmon and McCourty over the top. However it will be off-man, not “we’re going to punish your receiver at the line” press man.
This directly relates to how the Chung/Harmon/Richards of it all plays out. I’ll be curious to see how their snap counts play out over the season.
What we won’t see much of is Cover-1 Press Man which was the coverage of choice last year. This is unfortunate because I enjoyed watching it so much.
