It's a bend-but-don't-break type of scheme while trying to confuse the QB and not give up the Big Play. Those are the 3 Major points of a Zone scheme. I believe it's not the Zone coverage in itself, because they can either code to "Over" cover an area or "Under" cover an area. But it's the P. Manning QB's across the board that are able to pick apart defenses with ease. There's only so much they can do on a Zone coverage.

Brilliant! Simple and extremely informative.
