How are Cb's Playing Cross Routes so Far in M20?

Are they abandoning their zone in cover 3 on a cross leaving a gaping hole?

Man blitz is an effective counter this year IMO. 

If you have good corners they can stay with crossers until your pressure gets home. I like to user the safety in a deep zone and take away anyone who gets a good release.

Cover 3 with no adjustments will not guard a crosser or corner

 Sounds like same setup that a lot of people ran last year then, would be nice to have an adjustment where that CB on the opposite side of the 3 wr bunch stays home.

 Having man as an option is nice at least good to know considering it has been broken for awhile minus some blitz packages. Thanks for the info lets hope EA doesn't patch that!

Hopefully guarding sticks still somewhat works
