Zone vs. Man-on-man

In honor of Monday night football, a football analogy:

When Reilly first started walking, I followed her around the house in what might be called man-on-man defense. Since any step could be a misstep, I had to be within arm's reach of her at all times.

Now, I just occupy the space around Reilly, making sure she stays away from the dog bowl or the computer mouse. Her proficiency at walking has allowed me to start playing a zone defense, which is a hell of a lot easier on this aging sports-star.
