In this case, the best defense is not offense but defense.

I completely disagree with this, the best defense is to let the guy float up near the blueline while you trap his team deep on an offensive forecheck with the intent to bury it. You just need to make sure that your blueliners are aware of where he is and play him like you are a safety. Then you crush him when he reaches for a pass and leave him in a coma like a soap opera star.
