The zone concepts turn in to match zone that basically play like man if they leave their zone into an untended area of the field. If you run a back side "lock" with zone on the front side against a trips with a backside wide out you have to be matching if a deep crosser for instance out of the slot works across the field so it ends up man. I have never heard of zone inside man outside, so your going to have to break that one down for me because it doesn't make any sense. Maybe you have a cover 1 where one LB is in zone and the high safety is in zone but at least 1 LB is manned up and you have taken away any help for the CB's on the deep third so they are probably playing 7 yards off now. Man inside and zone out is only happening on some sort of all out blitz with a LB taking the dump off and a single high safety and the outside CB's all taking deep third responsibilities.
To sum it up...no not really. The majority of the time if you go man you are going man across the board (outside of the shell). Like I said in 1 you may get a LB in a hook zone, but you are still exposing LB's to tough match ups.
