Defending Empty 3x2, 4x1 + defending Spread Read option

If he's a runner, I'd play a 4-2 type look with my front and would seriously think about splitting the field--playing C-3 to the trips side and C-2 to the twins side regularly. My previous post was thinking that they would be pass first, but if they are trying to spread you out so that they can gash you with a runner, you need to have more people with their eyes on him than just your front 5 or 6 unless your defense is able to tackle in the open field extremely well. At any rate, I don't know that I'd blitz him a ton. Get pressure with your front four by stunting and slanting--possibly bringing someone off the corner at times.
