Man coverage

Did the Cowboys play more man coverage today?

On the Breaston TD drive, the Cowboys seemed to employ more man coverage and blitzing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If I'm right, can anyone venture a guess or an analysis on how effective it was?

seemed the same zone man mixture.

The DB's went to the coach and begged to play Man. Said that he didn't trust them to play it. Well he shouldn't have because the big plays were on man coverage

we did play more Man coverage. However, we're still playing off the receiver.

Hmmm.

Sadly, this was my impression as well, and if true, it makes the loss all the more depressing.

The Cowboys secondary can't play man or zone, despite the presence of an all-pro free safety, two historically good corners in Adams and Henry, and a first round pick in Jenkins.

What's the problem?
