Not generally but if I am worried about a 10 I wouldn't want them to gain to many yards on the ground if they are trying to spread me thin. Because most of the time it's 3 and long. It's better then man. With then new rules zone is the way to go and hope you get a good pass rush.
I love zone. Everywhere I've been I've ran a route reading quarters scheme. And I've increased interceptions over the previous staff each time.
The reason is simple. In zone your db is looking at the (especially on a fade route). In man your db doesn't always see the ball because he's looking at the man.
Been along time since I heard banjo. Haven't coached in awhile. Lol
Glad to see some actual football conversation (although it seems a few of you just play a little too much Madden...)
So while we're having an actual football conversation...why doesn't someone explain to me the difference in a Zone read and Read option. I've always thought of them as an interchangeable term, but I've seen people get crucified for it on here....Yet never an explanation.
Read option can be a lot of different plays. Do you remeber when Urban used to use a wr as a pitch man off his zone read? That would be a read option play. Zone read is a read option play.
Trap read, power read. any run play where you give the qb an option to pull is a read option play. Zone read is just more specific.

Thank The Lord an actual football conversation... I personally wanna see some small personnel to show we are attacking early and then break them with a two tightend set and Hurd and lane punishing them and making them quit... I wanna break there will.
I've coached the game for nearly a decade and am currently writing a book on the topic of match zone coverage, but continue making a fool of yourself.
