Just play a 4-3 or bear defense when you anticipate the run and leave you linebacker in on non-sweeps because you miss tackles and RB will gain yards on you.

The 4-3 works fine for me, if I shift the D-line one way and the LB's the other. I usually stop the play in the backfield 70% of the time. However I am not having as much success with the BEAR because my LB's are so close to the line of scrimage that after the ball is snapped they get caught up in the WASH and can't pursue laterally.
