Yeah, I've just never heard of corners in zone coverage described as "being on an island." That usually refers to man coverage without safety help over the top.
It also seems to be a perfect fit for the Colts current safeties. Hooker can play the middle of the field and Geathers can come into the box. They really need rangy LBs who can cover crossing routes, which is why I think Smith is the pick if Chubb isn't there.
