They align to the heavy side basically realigning their zone based on how they are lined up. Players don't always line up man to man, that is simply false.

Here is a zone versus a 3x1 setup





Often times an inside WR will be left uncovered when a team is running zone (sometimes they cover to make a QB think man), which is one of the ways you can tell it is zone. A defender does let a receiver go when they leave his zone, that is called passing him off to another zone, once again a very common technique.

Stop Fred, you are wrong and you are just digging yourself deeper. Go google what a zone defense and come back when you actually understand. Here let me help...

Understanding Man-to-Man Vs Zone Defense

There are two basic ways to structure a defense: 1) Man-to-Man and 2) Zone. The true difference between these defenses is Coverage, or how they protect against the pass.  In Man-to-Man, as the name suggests, the pass defenders are assigned to specific players.  But in Zone Coverage, the pass defenders cover a specific area or zone on the field.
