No team runs either more than 65% or so on average so it comes down to what you are comfortable with your guys doing in certain situations. Just remember next time you see an open receiver a lot more went into it than just a guy not following his guy, or not covering his area.

Side note: this wasn't specifically aimed at you Ocho it just seemed like a good place to put it haha

Teryl Austin ran cover 2 zones as a default defense. The Bengals were in zone coverage almost 90% of the snaps. I agree it's neither either or but Austin defaulted to that defense when opposing offenses used hurry up. 

I believe the defense with a safety with the range to play cover 1, the other safety who excels as an overhang defender, and 3 first round  press/bump & run corners should use more man schemes.
