Scheme-wise, will we be any different in the postseason?

I said in the thread I started (and should have posted here if I saw this thread) that I bet if Wayne or any other receiver who normally lines up opposite Hobbs starts going off, BB will switch Asante and Hobbs and have them play man to avoid confusion on zone assignments when switching sides. I haven't seen this all year, but I can't imagine BB letting Hobbs get picked on if that starts to happen.

That's a rather interesting thought...though if they did have the corners play man, I think that plays more to Hobbs' strength and the need to switch sides. If anything, Hobbs gives too big a cushion playing zone, but the general consensus I've always felt is that Hobbs is a very strong cover guy in man, whereas Asante thrives in zone D, jumping routes and such. Take the AFCCG last season, aside from a brutal call by the ref, Hobbs has a great game.
