Football terminology is something native to football coaching. To the non-coach, it is not. Cover 1, Cover 2, Cover 3, Tampa 2, 46 Bear, etc.; all this can often be quite confusing. The purpose of this article is to describe in a limited sense what is exactly meant when one discusses the term "Cover 2" as it relates to a defense.
In its generic sense, the term "Cover" does NOT indicate a particular defensive scheme. Rather, it describes the coverage responsibilities of the safeties. One must remember that the safety(s) are the last line of defense between the offense and the goal line. Ergo the term "safety." Regardless of whether the the play is a run or a pass, the safety must place himself in a position which keeps himself between any opposing player and the goal line. The exception is within the red zone, where (depending on the location of the snap) the field responsibilities collapse, requiring a shift in both run and pass assignments.

The way I see it, there are basically two broad models for building a championship team out there right now: One is the Walsh/Gibbs, ultimately Don Coryell model that is sometimes called the "West Coast offense," but to me means any team that relies on the passing game primarily on offense and uses short passes to establish ball control; these teams usually play a style of defense that isn't meant to suffocate the other team as much as make enough big plays over the course of the game that the opponent can't keep up with the efficiency of the offense. The other I'll call a Parcells/Belichick, ultimately Chuck Noll model which is thought of as the "old school" or "conservative" approach, establishing the running game, controlling the clock, and making the opponent work hard for every first down defensively.

Quarterback
This is the easy one to right about. Eli improved from the beginning of the season, where fans questioned his ability to be an elite QB to the end of the season where Eli was considered an elite QB who had no peer when it came to come from behind finishes. I see no reason to think the end of the year Eli isn't the same one the team has all of 2012
2011- Eli Manning, David Carr PS- Ryan Perrilloux
2012- Eli Manning, David Carr PS- Ryan Perriloux
Verdict- Stays the same to slight improvement
