defense question - trey adjustments

I prefer to start in a zone scheme to see if the other player can make adjustments - especially if they open with tight formations and run a lot of the early meta offense. And in general the Quarters coverage scheme works against that or anything where it is 2 x 2 formation.

The trouble has started with more 3 x 1 formations - though not so much with bunch (if someone is a bunch master I simply don't have an answer for all of the options - if they aren't then bunch has become easier to defend). Any coverages you like against trey? I seem most susceptible to verticals with the inside WR getting over the top of any zone I drop.  If I user it then the middle underneath is open.

Appreciate any wisdom you can share.

I play bend but don’t break against a lot of these tight and bunch formations and try to user the bunch side underneath defender and try to guess right on the play

C2 25 yd clouds 

set a deep middle 3rd 

rush 4 or 3/spy depending upon tendencies 

I like to try and jam a wr or tight end on pass plays as well

Great question and solid answer from hippo there.  For me if I’m facing a good passer running trips/trey i will  

only rush 3 

man up all recievers 

have an OLB/DE on a  flat taking away all underneath routes and a safety over top

kicker here, user the middle and immediately SPRINT OUT to strong side of formation anticipating a corner route to come and you want to pursue that way for like one and a half seconds just enough to make the QB scared to throw in that direction and then immediately cut back to middle of field or up top to help with everything else

only way to stop these type of offenses that people have perfected is great user skills . No prepay adjustments is going to stop a good player.
