I really don't know, but it's something that keeps bugging me about our system.

Let's say you stick with the vanilla look but swap sides so that your best defender is on the same side as their best receiver. Then let's say that they put that receiver into motion and move him to the other side of the field. Do you make your corners swap sides? That's going to be hard to manage and they're going to be able to catch you mid-shift. Or do you go ahead and play that one guy man and make the zones shift to accommodate?
Whatever you're going to do, it's going to get complicated.
With our system, I'm sure that it's extremely complicated with changing assignments based on shifts and things like that.
The only way to really get your best cover guy on their best receiver is to play man.
