Another strategy I thought of a while back was to have your defense line up in the exact formation each play with no variation at all. No moving, no looking around, no slow creeping. Nothing. Don't move a muscle until you see the ball actually move.
Just a blank slate that cannot be "read". Sure you would be out of position a few times; but is that really worse that what is going to happen to you otherwise?
This is what the Steelers did in 2005, they tried to hold all of their coverages right until the last moment (as opposed to the usual movement that occurs under LeBeau)
