Finally someone, other than myself, has address the zone coverage that the Broncos are now using. I made this observation a month ago, there was a story in SB Nation/Mile High Report, that addressed this same question. Joseph and Woods were so intent on putting their Brand on the Defense, and eliminate any semblance of Wade's
defense that they switched from Man/Man coverage to Zone. The players have spoken on this, but for reason unknown, it was squashed. They do some M/M but for he most part
they are in a zone coverage. Thus the reason for teams passing and scoring. They
wanted the CBs and linebackers to help in stopping the run game, result.....#3 in
stopping the run.
