Thanks for the insight

I really haven't played anyone that uses the option as their primary offense.

I would first tell the person using the option that they are using a broken offensive scheme. The option is not as broken as last year, however, the late pitch animation is still there making the option cheesey.

With the said, there are strong safety blitzes that will stop the option and the 335 can stop it. My goal is to put people in passing situations. If someone is really good at running the ball (or cheesing with the option) then they are probably not good at throwing the ball. Run man blitzes and force them into passing situations.
