We see a lot of "Cover 2/Man". Below are our thoughts vs. it (from our "QB SCHOOL"). We break down EACH coverage like this:

QB ATTACKING COVER 2/MAN UNDER:
(THE SS AND FS EACH DROP TOWARDS THE HASHES, COVERING HALVES OF THE FIELD. THE LB’S AND CORNERS PLAY MAN ON THE 5 ELIGIBLE RECEIVERS)
BASIC PHILOSPHY:
This coverage is one of the toughest coverages to attack. The WR’s have to be able to handle the tough corner play and beat them on outside moves. The quick fade is a sound pattern but the ball has to be on the dime and get there before a safety can help out. H & Y are the logical guys to work to in that they are now isolated on a LBer. The RB is on a LB so he too becomes becomes a big factor when attacking 2/Man Coverage. It is very hard to move the ball efficiently by going to the WR’s. We would be forcing the issue.
QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED:
1. Can we read the coverage coming in our Pre-Snap look? Usually can!
2. Do the corners come up in a B & R position and “plaster” from inside-out?
3. Do the safeties “bail out” in getting to the deep outside?
4. How much time do we need to get receivers open?
5. Is there a formation they may not play Cover 2/Man against?
6. Will different forms of motion eliminate Cover 2/Man?
7. Which LBer is the weakest in coverage?
8. Does the LB hang on the L.O.S. waiting for the RB or does he drop out and pick him up downfield?
9. Can we screen against their LBers?
10. Are Mike & Sam reading I & O on Y and RB (callside to Y)? Are Mike & Will reading I & O on H & RB (callside to H)?
11. Do they play this coverage in a specific area of the field?
12. How do the LBers handle counter-action in the backfield?
