Re: What defensive plays are good against speed option under center?
A few things you can do.
1. Hot route the DE/DE's to QB contain. They'll usually seal the outside pretty well.
2. Set option contain to aggressive.
3. Control the MLB. This can backfire massively though if they pass.
4. Use the 4-2-5. It has all kinds of spy and contain plays that shut down the option very well.
5. Spotlight RB, so the D will focus on the general direction the option is going.
6. Use zones with flat coverage. This ensures they dont get big yardage. Man coverage against option is suicide.
7. Spread D-line and/or linebackers.
