between the tackles?

Pretty much but if a good defense is loading the box you likely won't be able to run much off tackle either. It forces you to shift the offense outside with either runs or passes. It's basically the take what they give you fundamentals.

This is why I love a mobile QB who can quickly roll outside with options to pass, pitch out or run himself as needed. Play-action can be effective against a loaded box defense if you have a good pass blocking OL and a tall QB with a strong arm who can make accurate passes down-field stretching the defense which is why these type QB's are a premium in the NFL.
