On the outside it makes sense, but on the inside we are going to be hurting bad. When you go man, you go man across the board which puts your LB's on TE's and HB's. Now this week would be the week to do it as the Ravens don't really scare you with either, but people get so caught up with the man to man thing with the CB's they often forget that it requires your LB's to be able to man up pretty athletic guys too.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder if we were running a lot of pattern matching zones. The issue with that is it can get complex which can result in a lot of blown coverages if all the guys don't see the play the same way. It would make sense when you listen to some of the comments made about Austin wanting to keep changing things and over complicating them.
