If they flip the TE they'd have to check out of the blitz
Point is to your original statement you don't have to play man coverage across the board it can be mixed and matched.
No it's press bail technique which is common for cover 3 zone (what Seattle ran with legion of boom often). It's deep third responsibility but because they have no vertical threat they stay with the curls. It's is zone coverage that converts to man. I think maybe we are having a bit of a translation issue where we talk past each other. They can end up in man principals but often a play is zone to start but can morph into man. You don't really create plays by design where you intentionally are assigning man to a guy on the outside with zone on the linebackers (both specifically, I already mentioned 1), it's normally a piece of a zone coverage that checked it into that often based on formation.
Which would revert it back to the zone principals, because it's a zone coverage with a man check.
To my original statement, yes you do formations can dictate the zone matching concepts I explained from the start but you aren't designing a scheme that is man outside zone inside, it by definition would be a zone play. If you are in a true man defense there is no matching whatever formation is you play it out man which is why you go man across the board, save cover 1 or cover 2. We were already playing matching concepts that weren't getting picked up correctly, so it's kind of moot. Bottom line if you want to play man outside we are going to be playing man inside on so you better be able to handle it with your LBs.
