bunch vs. conventional trips

you are right both have a place. the one thing with bunch is you have to have a great release guy at the top. if he gets stuffed the whole timing of the bunch gets wacked.

the advantage of the bunch is you create space vs tight man or man coverage. you are working to really get one rec open on the bunch.

also, you can place trips into the boundry when on the high school hash. the h.s. hash being at 18 yds creates a spacing problem for trips into the boundry but the buch set takes care of this.


the advantage of straigt trips is,
1. h.s the ball is on the hash the majority of the time. you can spread the field to the trips and create one on one on the backside. with the h.s. hash being at 18yds it is hard to create space to the boundry side.
2. trips has the best play of them all, run and shoot choice route. you can read it single rec to trips or trips to single rec. either way you have a place to go with the ball.
3. the defnse has to chose, either rotate the coverage to the trips side and cover the single rec
with a bracket coverage or stright man. typically what trips teams will do is remove a guy from the box thus allowing for a numbers advantage in the run game.

the trips route is run best from a 3x1 set with the single rec into the boundry.

the single rec has three choices all based on the coverage
1. a 8-10 yd speed out vs inside tech by a db.
2. a 8-10 yd skinny slant vs outside tech by a db
3. vs a press situation convert to a fade.

when the conversion takes place or the qb does not feel comfortable he moves to the backside trips which has numerous plays.
if choice is called the inside most slot runs a drag, the next slot as a read based on the coverage. vs a single safety defense the slot is running a vertical, vs a double safety defense he can hookup or run a post.

the next verstion is choice special where the slots exchange assingments.
choice switch is another version. inside slot runs a drag, next slot is running the outside switch, the wr is running the inside part of the switch route.
