Against HUNH Air Raid teams, man coverage is both easier to call/get in position for and more effective. They're trying to throw the ball into space. Playing zone gives them space to throw to. If you press the WRs you throw off the timing and extend the play. Then with the man coverage you have DBs always with the receivers, instead of in zone where it is easier to slip open.

Yeah, but that is a risk you take.

gives the db no chance of making a pick

Not really. I mean, less of a chance than zone sure, but good DBs with ball skills get INTs in man.

Sylve playing the man was the reason he kept getting Mossed yesterday.

Exactly. Syvle sucks. Get physical guys like TB and EJ out there and things would be different.

Man I wish we were in it for Tee McFadden.
