I have a question on this same topic: does anyone play a 46 with man coverage?

I thought that the corners in a 46 almost always played man to man coverage.
The SS lines up on the line with the 4 down linemen and the SLB.
You then have each corner paired with a receiver, and the FS back towards the middle.

Q: Herm, back on December 25th you were asked if Trent Green was your starter going into next season and you said, ‘yeah, why wouldn’t he be?’ Have you changed your mind on that?
