If gl wasn't a major element of qb rushing it wouldn't just be a hey let's run 50 qb rushes and hope we score tds type offense. The other formations are done well through good planning. Gl is a hey I'll either fuck you through qb rollout and pitch or I'll jam you down the middle. There isn't a much other middle ground. And pls don't try and argue to me like off tackle weak is gong to the right.
On that note: I've found the new 5-2 book very effective against these outside QB GL runs. Those runs usually get two blockers to catch the side before the SS comes across and risks getting tied up himself. A 5-2 gives some more spread and can force even a smarter runner to take forever to get to the sideline.
You can beat these things. Just think outside the box.
