[QUOTE="newman79, post: 244972, member: 1614"] I would like to drink the Cool-aid, but will keep myself on the wagon for a while. thanks for the responses, btw, .. I enjoy your posts. I'd like to see the Packers play some more coverage zone. You mentioned Pittsburgh with their zone play over their 3-4 versus Baltimore with their mostly man over the 3-4. The Packers seem to really like the man coverage, and I can't recall the exact games from last fall at the moment but there were a couple or several where they got burned real late in the game when one or the other of the DB's got beat on man coverage. Those were killers, as I recall. I thought if they would play a little more zone late in the game that perhaps they wouldn't have given up those late, huge, game-losing big plays. I remember seeing some guys on tv analyze the Steelers 3-4 defense prior to the Superbowl. (IIRC, it was on the NFL Network's Playbook show) and they were showing and explaining how the Steelers play zone coverage behind their 3-4. They showed how it allows the secondary players to keep their eyes forward towards the ball and everything is in front of them, as opposed to being turned away from the ball playing man. The analyst explained how the Steelers players could see the play and the ball clearly in front of them and that it would allow them to make a lot of plays (of course, Polamalu was highlighted). I'd think I'd like to see the Packers use some of this at times behind the 3-4, as opposed to all the man coverage. any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
