[QUOTE="stinger78, post: 1119923, member: 6771"] Man coverage is just a coverage scheme. For an empty backfield, 5-receiver set against a nickel D (4-2-5) it can give you all 6 DT/LB that can play "in the box.," depending on how you employ it. That means you have an extra player that can, if designed and executed right, bring pressure to the QB. If you're playing nickel D in cover 2 [B][I]deep [/I][/B]against a 5-receiver set, depending on how you employ it, it can require the CB play well off the lines and the LB/DE to have cover responsibility for the flat and OTM on their side. In that approach it's 7 with some coverage responsibility which leaves only 4, maybe 5, players "in the box." Unless you can disguise it well, you will struggle to get pressure. Our zone seems designed to play deep to keep plays in front of them. Safeties are 15-17 yards off the LOS and corners are 10-12 off the LOS - and are often moving *back* at the snap. That leaves a big area - 10 yards deep, sideline to sideline between corners and LOS for short routes. This often puts our LB in difficult situations to make plays at the LOS. This is my observation.
