With a lot of corners hitting 90 man threshold now wondering if anyone is running primary man defense schemes? Curious on the results

I find that man defense is a game to game experience. Some games my guys throw a blanket over the opponent’s receivers & I have three picks before the 1st qtr is over…Other games they are getting torched every which way.

kinda been my experience too, I only call it maybe 5-10% so hesitant to switch over but sometimes it is complete lockdown

I ran nothing but man the first 2 season but switched over to 80% zone snd it was a good decision. Way more ints now.. but here lately I've been running into morr and more people running man

More INT's in zone but there are holes in zone that can be frustrating. I play both depending on the opponent, down and distance. Keep opponent guessing.

McCoy is a beast in man coverage.

TRUTH!…McCoy is the best corner in the game & that includes Deion…And yes, I will die on this hill!

I do, just send a blitz (Pinch buck 0, 3-4 odd) press, shade overtop. U will get torched sometime. But u get a lot of turnovers

I try to switch it up and depending on scenario. but i will if i do man, its usually a man/zone and never straight man, i always get burned in straight man.

Echo what a few people have said: both and situation dependent.
I've started using some man matchups with a zone play call though. Tampa Sim Pressure I like to run when my opponent is peppering in RPOs, man up the WR and RB I'm anticipating being the options. Cover 3 Lock and Cover 6 Willie are also favored because of the ability to play both at the same time.
That said I definitely see the value in man. Shaded down Cover 2 is a problem!
