If he is rushing wide off the edge, step up and allow him to rush pas you and your tackle should be able to protect you long enough.

As long as he's not getting a good inside rush, you should be able to step up into a clean pocket and either pass the ball or take off for a few yards.

Once you beat him a few times stepping up and taking off, he'll back off.
