Wash actually calls a proportionate amount of man and zone coverages that is very normal compared to the rest of the league. 

What you are complaining about (I think) is probably a combination of three things:

1. players individually getting out of position or misunderstanding their zone responsibilities
2. players individually giving too much cushion/playing too deep
3. Wash calling one of his softer zone defenses late in the game with a lead

I wouldn't rule out Wash calling things a bit more aggressively this season.  Even though he's been doing a fine job IMO.

That could be it.  I just get so frustrated when i know certain teams feast on quick throws(Brady) and YAC to move the chains; and we are playing 5 plus yards off the line.  When i see that and a 3 yard pass gets 2 yac to covert a 3rd and 4, im livid.  Its like c'mon man.  I just think if the players tighten up, we have 2 top man corners, to at least force teams to take chances in tight coverage or try trickery to move the ball.  Our pass rush should hit home without blitzing too much with the speed we have on defense for coverage from LB and the back end.  

I thought that was primarily the reason Jalen played out of position on purpose.  When teams keep eating up yards and you're just sitting in zone, i'm not mad at the player(s), im upset at the NFL level coach.  The D is tops regardless but i feel we can be even more dominant than before.  It could be the Brady game that has me so frustrated 2 years later, but the man feasts on short throws and we literally played zone to let him eat underneath and destroy our chances.  From that point forward, i was locked in on the D and what the heck they were thinking each and every game.

EDIT: I was also locked in on Offense from that point forward and tried to understand the playcalling on that side of the ball as well. Sadly, i still have no idea what we were trying to accomplish at all.
