Unless your state or area uses a completely different set of keys, that is not true. A wing's key might be the back between the tackles.
Then, they either go downfield for a pass situation or stay home and watch blockers in front of the ball as the play comes to them.
The wings also have short passes in the flat. They do not go running reckless abandon down field on every pass. Usually the running backs are going to the short flat for passes. You will have to pick them up to know where they are. And their movement before the snap is key. Now if they are not looking at them, they might miss a play that involves them. Wings also have some responsibility for the forward/backward pass coverage.
We are not going to agree on this. Unless your state has completely different mechanics, nothing you are saying about keys and coverage area that is true.
