The title of your thread is a bit of a misnomer because stopping the option is actually very easy this year, something I've frustrated about a little.

What you're talking about is the Read Option. This requires you to play the C-D gaps heavily. Leave OLB close to the line of scrimmage just outside the DE's. Of course this opens you up to other attacks, but you have to have guys on the perimeter that are in the face of the QB and the HB from opposite sides.
