Is there any way to properly defend a power running formation with our three fantastic TEs, Andrew Luck behind center, and Stephan Taylor in the backfield?

What's really insidious from a defensive perspective isn't just this formation, it's that this is only the beginning of your problems.

Let's say Luck is running a no-huddle with the skill players of Taylor, Hewitt, plus the three tight ends. On one snap, he can split Ertz and Fleener out wide with Toilolo and Hewitt to block. On the next he can compress everyone to go jumbo. On the third he can split Hewitt out to have a single-man backfield. And so on and so forth. Given the amount of variation possible with our tight ends, it's really hard to figure out the right personnel grouping to match up with them.
