3-4 Tite: Pinch + Slant DL Causes OLB Zone to Switch to Blitz
In the 3-4 Tite defensive formation using Cover 4 Drop, when I pinch the defensive line and then slant them inward (slant inside), the outside linebackers — who are originally in vertical flats (purple zones) — automatically switch to blitzing.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Choose 3-4 Tite → Cover 4 Drop.
- Use D-line adjustments: Pinch line (→ d-pad left + down), then slant inside (→ d-pad left + right stick down).
- Observe the OLBs change from vertical flats to blitzing.
Expected Behavior:
OLBs should retain their zone assignments unless manually adjusted. D-line shifts should not override linebacker responsibilities.
Impact:
This disrupts user coverage schemes and creates breakdowns, especially when anticipating quick throws or RPOs.
Suggestion:
Please evaluate whether this is tied to the assignment logic or a misclassification of blitz rules when multiple adjustments overlap.
