I still can't believe we ran than zone man at the goal line against Seattle. I have never in my life played that kind of defense at the goal line going back to when I was 9 yrs old. You condense the D, and run cover 2 since the safeties can't get too deep and you have the middle covered. If the rush can't get to him then at least he has no escape route straight past a DB with his back tirned. You do not shift from zone to man because you spread everybody out and the dbs are in no mans land, if they play the QB the receivers get lost, play the receiver and your back is turned and you can't pass the man off.
went easy on Shanny..... he's right that most games do end up being close but you know who won those type of games every year? His teams... the Pats did. The Chiefs typically do. The niners of the 80's and early 90's typically did.
