Does any team in the NFL do it ? I don't think you can go 100% man, you have to keep the offense guessing a minimum, and in some situations man can be quite risky, IMO even in a man heavy system, you have to wrinkle in some zone.

Just a guess but you probably are not running too much man in 3rd and 20 situations.

Sorry I didn't explain it clearly, I meant we are not going to go 180 degree with the defense - we ran zone cover 62% of time last year (according to the article) and I don't think we will go with man to man coverage 60% or more next year.
We play Hurts, Prescott, Rodgers, Jones, Allen, Herbert and Mahomes this year and all those QBs can run. Although we could try to counter this challenge by using Curl or Collins as a spy to try contain those QBs.

Good point.
And on top of those we play many very good QBs that we'll have to keep guessing a minimum. Otherwise the likes of Brady, Wilson and Ryan will have a lot of fun identifying good man to man match ups pre snaps...
