This weird hate for zone defense around here, and by most NFL fans is funny. The top 5 teams in the amount of zone defense ran last year were Colts, Chargers, Cardinals, Seahawks, Cowboys. Outside of the Cardinals those are four of the top defenses in the NFL last season. 

And outside of the Cardinals, those teams have heavily invested in LBs.  The other part that always seemed to be missing on our defense was an answer to when a team goes max protection.  No pass rush whatsoever.  Opposing QB just pats the ball and waits for an easy checkdown.  Hoping Lou is more aggressive in sending an extra rusher from time to time.  The strength of our defense is the secondary and I think they are much better suited for man defense.
