i can stop when i fly down with my safety.

How do just shut this play down.

your dbs run away from the play lol.

I run the Inside and Outside Zone Read option scheme exclusively. It isn't a glitch, because I end up with a lot of negative plays. I'm not going to say how to stop it, there are multiple ways at multiple positions, but it is non glitch.

Easy way to stop it is to bring more people into the box...please bring more people in the box haha.

just dont blitz, and also place the read guy (DE/OLB) in contain/ I agree it is pretty glitchy. half the team goes to tackle the HB and the other half is glitched into backpedaling to infinity

Read option is a play that is designed to make a defense wrong no matter what. Depending on the guy who is left unblocked, you read which way he goes. If he pursues the running back, you keep it, if he stays home, you give it. You just have to pick your poison. If the qb is rather slow, hit the running back every time and make him do something else.

IME, the biggest gains on the Read Option come when the QB keeps it and half the D chases the RB. So play the read DE and play the QB yourself until you are 100% the ball has been handed off. Yeah, you are sacrificing #s on the other side but blocking in this game is bad enough that the playside DE and LB will usually clean it up for minimal gains.

Another possibility is to run a 3-4 or 3-3-5. The AI goes all squirrely trying to block 3 man lines.

Actually the read option is designed to make 1 guy wrong no matter what, not the entire defense.

LOL. He called the read option a glitch play. Learn exactly what a play is supposed to do before you come on here making useless threads. Kthx.
