Yeah, well, and quick outs, slants, short passes underneath, etc. Actually, now that I think of it, maybe the playbook wouldn't have to change too dramatically. You may run the ball a bit more, but you'd still run pass plays that spread the field out. If the defense just gives you the deep play, you take it. But, you're content to go with the first play that nets you 2.5, so you make that the goal and always have a couple of short options. The QB then prioritizes those in his progression.
