Re: PFF: Why some CB's can’t play zone
Man coverage is alot easier to play, youve got your WR stick with him
Junior galette recently said that spags D was a "you have to be here" kind of D, but audibles changed to a more effective offense and our D was always one step behind because the D was too damn confusing I like how it uses asomugha as an example which is spot on Hopefully our guys can show up big this year |

Re: PFF: Why some CB's can’t play zone
most of our CB are great examples
It may be physically less challenging at times, but zone schemes can be far more mentally demanding nice read |

Re: PFF: Why some CB's can’t play zone
Jason David was the perfect example of the opposite. He was a good zone corner but severely lacked the physical tools to play man and thus he was toast. Square pegs and round holes.

Re: PFF: Why some CB's can’t play zone
Very true. Zone can be highly effective with the right corners and safeties. I would be high on Jenkins in zone at safety but not what we play.

Re: PFF: Why some CB's can’t play zone
Playing zone requires EVERYONE to be on the same page and the players to be quick thinking and reacting vs man where speed and physicality typically prevail.
In man the deep ball is because someone got burnt, in zone its because someone missed a coverage... Either way, if you don't get pressure on the QB you will be toast eventually. |
