I’d imagine if one looked at the stats over the past 5 years, zone coverage in general is increasing. For instance, back in 2020, we faced man 35% of the time, which was 5th in the league. That’s more than we’re even facing man today. That said, I’m thinking our running game is perceived as
stronger than our WR group, so defenses are more frequently willing to go man to try and stop our run game?
For those that know better than I, would 12 personnel or a 6th OL-man encourage defenses to go man against us more frequently too?
