re: What is the advantage of our corners playing the man instead of the ball?

I'll be a big advocate of playing man when our superior athletes are in the game. If we are going to play with Cyrus Jones and Bradley Sylve at CB, I actually think zone is the better option. The reason being that we will give up the dink and dunk but not the big play. When teams get into the red zone, the spaces our zone allows become much smaller, and our blitz packages start to do work.

If/when Tony Brown, Marlon Humphrey, and Eddie Jackson are in the game, I think man coverage will be the way to go.
