Theoretically we have the DL for a scheme like that to work, but our LBers are not fast enough to converge on the weak points of the zone and gives the opponent wide open short throws in the middle almost immediately. Add in the fact that you can't hit WRs in the middle of the field anymore, and you have a recipe for a very terriblly executed zone defense.
