Until we get elite defensive talent at every position, we HAVE to run zone if we have any chance to beat a running QB. We cant rely on one spy watching Manziel while the rest of our guys are running 30 yards with their backs to the QB.

Before you posted this did you go back and look at what mobile QBs did to us in 2001 or 2002 or 2003? Those Ds were much more talented than the ones we have now and they had 200 put on them by several QBs.

Period. End of story.
