They just stand there flat footed and wait while the OL comes barreling at them 5 years down field. That being said the best ways I've found to combat a spread to run inside offense is to not be afraid to keep your base D on the field. On 1st & 2nd down I will keep my base 4-3 on the field even if the O is in a 3WR set. I base a lot out of Cover 4 and Cover 6 and I will bring down & then user the FS/SS to the side the slot WR is on. This lets me base align and keep all my LBs back in the box. You can do this just as easily out of a Cover 3 by bringing the down safety to cover the slot. When using Nickel or Dime formations, I almost always pinch my DL and spread my LB(s). If they try to run inside I want everything to bounce outside, where I have my LBs and my extra DBs/Safeties. An even bigger issue for me than the inside runs out of shotgun are the ridiculous Draw plays. The AI defenders are just oblivious.

Thanks man, that was some good input. I figured I'd ask people using similar sliders to me. It is mostly the draw indeed, and the Eagles run it all game against me.
