It is not just the deep ball that other teams do not respect. If you look at the field, the middle is rarely used and the linebackers are free to roam to stop Gurley and Austin.
The deep sidelines is not used either.
So defend the line of scrimmage and load up on Gurley if after the snap Gurley doesn't get it everybody run to Austin. At least Linebackers.
They will like you say leave 1 and 1 coverage and in some cases, they have 0 on 1 coverage on Britt. They don't even cover him and he just runs free.
The opposing defense lives with an occasional deep ball because causing all those 3 and outs is worth it.
