I'm watching College Gameday and I hear Kirk Herbstreit talking about how FSU needed and in fact had switched from a primary/mostly man defense to a primary/mostly zone defense.
Obviously, I don't have the direct quote but it was something along the lines of, "With today's complex offenses and all of the drags you simply cannot play defense in only man"
I found it interesting b/c of the "issue" many are having complaining about ineffective zones and over effective man to man coverage.
IMO, this is the biggest issue with 11. I'm really enjoying the game but I've just given up on calling zone defenses as they get torched unless you are defending in your own redzone which gives you the back of the endzone as an extra defender.
