It works if the opposing team has a decent pass rush, especially up the gut, which Atlanta doesn't. Fast LB's also cause us problems because we can't get our RB's outside and the screen doesn't work as well.

But of course if you're Seattle, you just mug and hold all game.
A soft zone worked best before the arrival of Cooks. With his speed and moves, a short pass under coverage can turn into 6 from anywhere on the field, with one move. St. Louis can attest to that.
