carlos said all they did was man and never changed. you play enough man to man, any corner is going to get beat if the qb has time.

I found it rather amusing he would make a statement like that. Obviously he does not know the history of the position he plays. Man to man, bump and run was a CB's game until the rules changed. His game would be obsolete if he were playing during the time when CB's were football players as opposed to just being cover guys. Zone defenses were virtually unheard until the forward pass became such a formidable weapon. It's only natural if you can't cover consistently in man to man you would prefer to play zone.
