Keep in mind there is a difference between the front and the coverage shell. When people talk about "Tampa" they are talking about Tampa 2 coverage most the time where the MLB basically has the zone from the his starting point back to a deep middle, think depth similar to where you'd normally see safeties start and location wise in between them. In a standard cover 2 the MLB is going to take a hook zone drop and then can adjust into man coverage depending on route combination and receiver count. The Bucs ran multiple different fronts from 1 gap DT play to two gap and all sorts of various alignments off it, so saying that defense ran the "Tampa" 4-3 is a little misleading.
