This. ^^
I had all sort of problems with my plays that had flat thirds as well. I'm too lazy to go back ~2 seasons and find them, but safeties assigned to flat thirds went from working well to acting *completely* retarded back then.
But in the meantime - replacing the "guard the outside" plays where flat thirds used to work, with under third zones - works pretty well. http://goallineblitz.com/game/replay.pl?game_id=2431113&pbp_id=7703349
They'll hang 2-3 yards off the ball and assuming they've got any vision/agility at all - 9/10 times drive the play back into the pursuit from the inside. They seem to use the outside edge of the zone, rather than the midpoint of it ...
