GUN BUNCH TE DEFENSE
Gun Bunch TE became extremely popular because of the play PA Boot Over, which is one of the most explosive plays in Madden 22. Most Gun Bunch TE schemes are relatively simple, and once you take those few setups away, most players will move on to a different formation.
The three most popular setups out of Gun Bunch TE are PA Boot Over (stock), PA Boot Over (everything bomb), and Curl Flat Corner (or an equivalent play with a corner route).
