Man Corverage help

What’s the best way to play man defense? I usually run zone but like the switch it up from time to time and want to do it effectively. Ive tried using corners w good press and pressing but that just seems really inconsistent for me. Any help?

All of my corners meet the man cov thresholds but js curious if certain thing I can do to make my man defense better

Press man seems to be very high risk this year in my opinion. If the db doesn't win the press there's a good chance the receiver they're matched up with is wide open. I don't have any data to back it up but I feel like at least one receiver beats press almost every time I've seen it called both by myself and by my opponent.

In order to run man well, you need to shade your coverage properly. You can shade your entire coverage one way but you can also shade the coverage of individual players. Being able to shade individual players is key since if you only shade outside you're likely going to be beat by the inward breaking routes. So you really need to have a good read on what you're opponent is calling in order to shade properly.

I can’t play man, I get cooked every time lol. I’ll run zone and man a guy up sometimes but idk how people play mostly man coverage this year. It’s the most stressful coverage you can play, you never know who is gonna randomly get burned
