best zones to compliment a man defense

I used to run a 3-3-5 cover one with the two line backers in yellow zones and I thought this really helped with slants and drags when I played man, but people just started passing towards the sidelines and i was f'ed. I just played a guy and he either ran two purple zones when he played man or two yellow zones with his corners and the outside and he gave me a lot of trouble. then he lerked over the middle with his safety to stop slants. What do you think the best zone is to play to help when your playing man

cover 3

no man im talking about playing a man like a cover one then putting extra defenders in zone. like a d linemen or something in a yellow or purple zone or something like that

i usually put both DE's in purple zones. and user the guy manned up w/ the HB

when i run man i do a blitz to one side and drop my dt in yellow and de in either contain or flat on the opposite side of my blitz depends if the guy likes to roll out... because alot of players see a blitz and get nervous or somethin and look the opposite way of a blitz and if they do then i gott extra players in pass covg. works pretty decent for me

You can audible your Defense to protect Sideline Passes if your opponent is abusing the sidelines.
