If they just run double post and RPOs you know to guard double post in offset and the rpo everywhere else. It’s when they pair it with a brain that it becomes slightly harder
that said, here’s a couple pieces of d advice
against bunch offset you really only need to guard the bunch flat, the runningback and the outside bunch receiver MOST of the time. If they start to mix in the solo side bunch receiver or the point receiver react accordingly
as for RPOs the worst ones are “read” RPOs where the runningback and the bubble are on the same side and the qb has the option to keep. The solution there is to make sure you guard the bubble with someone other than the read key. The read key will be in charge of reading the quarterback, no matter what you do with them, so adding to numbers on the bubble side can help make sure the qb can’t put him in conflict (I like to man up my slot corner or sam LB to the bubble and then put my user where the read key would be for a read option)
lmk if this helps dude, hopefully you can get people with no eyeballs to quit instead of having to cost yourself a loss just for trying to play some John madden football :))
ps - I do run bunch offset and all the other shit you hate, but I hope you know some of us try to put strategy behind it, at least when we’re smart and not calling double post into double coverage lol. I am sorry for how common it’s become tho
Your play style drags down the overall community you do know that right?
