Defensive Strategies Against the Bunch Offense: Coaching Advice

Question
I am a new coach of a varsity high school team and we are facing a trip bunch offense and just wondering if you have any suggestions on what to run to stop it
I was thinking a 3-4 cover 3

Answer
Tim,

3-4 cover 3 can work if your outside backer to the bunch is athletic and a good cover guy. You could also consider going to a 3-5-3 with your outside backers in a short press techinique and give over the top help with your secondary.

Good luck,

Mark
