How to stop QB option

So ive been labbing different ways to stop the hated qb option. Ive found this:

1. 46 Bear~~~Safety Fire, Engage 8, Crash to a certain side

2. Nickel 1-1-5 (Pats PB)~~~Any kind of Lb Blitzes with a zone

Tell me what you guys think.

Nickel 1-1-5, show blitz, control the Safety on top of the screen and roll / spy to the side the option is being run. If the guy runs multiple plays out of it, it is amazingly hard to guard though. Especially against the Titans or Eagles.

QB Contain

Be the DE with the strong side(w/e side the FB is on) Get to the outside where hes supposed to contain the QB. Yor opponent will have no choice but to try and take it between the tackle and the TE. Thats where u fill the hole with your OLB. Thats when your opponent will have to pitch it u should still be the DE and get behind the QB and deflect it

lol @ 2-5-5, u cant have 12 defensive players.

And you cant stop the option, you can only hope to contain it.

lol my bad i meant 2-4-5
and this is containing it if u dont get the fumble

u also have to watch out for the fake pitrch

Its not hard stopping options u just have 2 know what playset that the person u r playing runs it out of bc 9/10 they dont run dat playset all gm just like da WR pass nobody runs that playset all gm so when they come out n it i kno 2 cover da WR pass just like da option
