The Bucs’ stunning win in Atlanta to close the 2012 season featured a Bucs defense that stopped being all blitz-happy and reliant on subpar cornerbacks on islands against top receivers.

Look for a lot more of that approach, says Bucs icon Ronde Barber.

Barber says the New Schiano Order has learned from its mistakes from the stop-the-run-first style — and its successes shutting down the full-strength Falcons. Barber goes deep into Xs and Os explaining why the Bucs’ press-heavy defense struggled in this excellent sit-down interview below with J.P. Peterson of TampaBaySportsCentral.com.

On Revis?

“He’d be a great guy to play with,” Barber said. “The things he puts on film, not a lot of guys can do that. Maybe a handful.”

Barber also talks about tackling technique and quotes Raheem Morris as a tackling mentor.
