The QB either darts up the A gap, or if they crash down, he simply runs parallel to the line and dives upfield. It's not like I never stop it, but I have a lot of trouble and would just like a consistent way to contain it when I know it's coming.

Well using 335 is part of your problem, it won't stop any run and you need DE penetration to stop the option. One thing that might work is a playbook with 52 in it (assuming you have a decent DL) and then running either Cover 2 or man to man with your DL spread wide and DE's in contain. You'll have to manually fill the gap the DE vacates but it will work.

The guys that run through the A gap are chumps, but can usually be stopped enough times.

Speed option is about as far from cheese as you can get. The ai knows how to play it so it comes down to lining up correctly.

i have a guy in one of my leagues that runs speed option ALL DAY with Clemson and Taj Boyd. Rediculous. HE runs on the CPU for 8 TDs a game and 400+ yards with just the QB. The AI NEVER adjusts to him for some reason.

I get what you are sayin

All you have to do to stop the option or any run for that matter is come out in 425 normal CB heat its a cvr2 with a blitzing corner and your corners actually stay outside against heavy formations.

LOL HMM with you playing with bama thats prolly the reason your 40-4 lol not cause your really talented and if you can't stop the any option you have a long way 2 go

Some people think that if they can't stop a certain play, then its cheese. I don't have any problem shutting down this option. Sometimes it will burn me, but usually I defend it well. Just like real life. The 3-3-5 isn't the best for stopping this offense.

3-3-5 is your problem
