Hardest play to defend besides being athletically superior and running iso over and over is the "mesh" play with a semi-mobile QB. Where two inside slot receivers run crossing routes 2-3 yards deep across the face of the LBs and stop anywhere b/t 2-3 yards within (inside or out, typically outside) the hash marks, flashing their numbers to the QB for a half a second. After flashing they continue their routes to the side lines. If play is extended they turn up field when hitting the side line.
This stresses the LBs more than a well timed play action. A RB could stay for pass protection and after 2 seconds flash to flat or stay in pp. the outside receivers clear safety's and corners with a post or vertical. Thoughts? Flame on.
