thats a difficult one without seeing what your team is doing at the moment to what they need to work on to shut down the drive. is the GD not keep up with the GA, is it a footwork problem, is it game play, is it corridor issue (i.e. crowding the ball), is it reading play. so not really knowing what the real issue is hard to help. ask another coach to watch and help you brain storm the problem.
