[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 778326"] On several occasions, dating back to when Hayward was still a Packer, I observed that Hayward flashed in zone, jumping short routes, but was not so great in man D on the island. Not having watched San Diego play, I posed here the question whether San Diego ran a lot of zone, playing to what I perceived was Hayward's strength. I was assured (I cannot remember by whom) that San Diego runs primarily man D. Nope. According to PFF, San Diego ran cover-3 on 55.6% of their passing snaps last season. [URL]https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-the-la-chargers-are-primed-for-a-super-bowl-run[/URL] I would assume Hayward plays high with a LB or SS playing the short zone since that's the way cover-3 is typically run, but someone can correct me on that point. Of course that last time I asked for such clarification the information provided was incorrect. Regardless, playing short or high zone, it should be obvious that it's a lot easier for a perimeter corner to rack up INT's, PDs and especially a low passer-rating-against when playing in a low-high zone scheme providing the pass rush doesn't give the QB all day (San Diego has a fine pass rush as indicated in the above link) than in single-high, man, blitz scheme if the blitz is not particularly effective. I suspect if Hayward had been playing in the Capers defense the last couple of years there might be bellyaching over Hayward giving up deep balls with C-D (or often Burnett) in single-high as the only assistance with generally ineffective blitz packages.
