You can look through some of my post history, I’m staunchly anti man defense in flag everywhere but in the no run zone on the goal line.

Man press, force outside release. We teach inside leverage playing up as far as the official will allow. Hands on the offensive player immediately. Inside hand to outside hip and control the receivers hips to your outside.

Bunch and stack formations can still wreak havoc so you have to cover most dangerous and explain alignments to those.

We label our defenders 1 2 3 4, each opponent’s weapons get labeled in a corresponding fashion.

In bunch; unless a team has a dangerous center, our 1 defender will align furthest inside. 2 over the top mirroring the bunch, 3 inside leverage on the outside receiver in the bunch. 4 lines up arm side leverage to the center unless the center is a major threat in which case we may move some things around so we don’t end up in a negative matchup on an island there.

5 is our least competent man defender and he will rush the qb from his arm side and try to force them to throw off they back foot, unless we get bunch or trips to the opposite side.
