AP Thoughts, Man vs Zone Scheme

Thinking of running a zone scheme instead of man with SIE being so OP.
For abilities, I’m assuming all zone knockouts for cover 3/4 and then mid zone ko? Is there a purp zone ko?
And run strat items on DL for pressure?

I run zone just can’t get on board with the man stuff the zone kos work good enough but a good man CB is very useful Cromartie is the best in the slot with his inside shade. Manning up the slot WR or TEs is very important as zones are so vulnerable in the seams.

You want to have corners who can do both, but I personally play some more because when I blitz it’s a bit harder for my opponent to quickly find an open receiver

So there are no specific KOs for zones, they activate when the player is in a certain area of the field in zone coverage. So for purple zones, probably flat zone Ko. I run cover 4 pretty much always with a few man blitzes mixed in to keep my opponent off balance and deep in zone KO on my safeties and deep out zone KO on corners works for me. I try not to spend AP on flat zone KO because giving up catches there doesn’t change much if I can make a tackle. Also some guys don’t have KOs instead for pick artists which is basically necessary in this meta.
