Devil's Pitchfork

This is a man defense that sends three “gunners” who sprint down the field to cut off the first throw, guard the other team’s three handlers, and put on immediate pressure.  A second wave of three runs down and guards three of their cutters, while our final player picks up their cutter that is the deepest at the time (he is a safe guard deep).  It shows like a clam which helps disguise the fact that it is a man, confusing offenses.  The number one key is getting all 7 players on a man as fast as possible and avoiding miscommunication by leaving one of them open while two of our guys mark one of theirs.
