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.
This isn’t true, the Bengals ran man coverage 42.6% of the time last year. In fact no team in the NFL ran zone more than 77% last year with only 8 running it more than 65% of the time. That line should have read “not many” not “no team”
