Man to Man coverage= Make a QB throw more accurate in a tighter window
That's what good man coverage does. Bad man coverage gets beaten like a drum.
Just like good zone coverage forces the QB to read the defense correctly on the fly.
Neither philosophy is good or bad. Bottom line: we ******* need to get better.
And bad zone coverage? Huge holes in the coverage/zones good for 10+ yard gains at a time. I doubt our players (who have played man all of their life) are going to get beaten like a drum in man coverage compared to how we are getting beaten like a drum looking lost in zone coverage every single play.
Funny, virtually every play Dorito pressed, played man, and had DL shooting gaps, we were successful and putting pressure on the QB. No we still weren't LSU level, but we were a helluva lot better looking on D than when we play passive.
