[QUOTE="newman79, post: 244974, member: 1614"] I'm not sure I agree that man coverage gives more security against big plays. Maybe if you double cover an opposing top WR, then you might be able to limit his effectiveness, but it comes with a cost as the other receivers have one less DB to go against. There were a couple key times last season that I remember the Packers secondary playing their man coverage and getting burned late in the game that really cost them. One I recall was against Carolina when late in the game Woodson got beat by Steve Smith with about a minute and a half left or so in the game. As I recall, it was something like a 40-50 yard completion with Smith being downed by Poppinga or Chillars at the one yard line. The Panthers scored to take a 4 point lead and that was a back breaker. It really cost any shot at the playoffs as well. I just thought to myself at the time "HOW in the heck can you allow yourself to be beat like that in that situation, when you are up by 3 points with less than 2 minutes to go?" I thought why weren't they playing some type of prevent or zone to really take away any chances of giving up a long pass play like that. I seem to remember the announcers saying how Collins was somehow out of position as well to give any help to Woodson. There were one or two other times where the same or similar things happened late in the game. Maybe another one was late in the game vs JAX? [/QUOTE]
