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:

  1. Choose 3-4 Tite → Cover 4 Drop.
  2. Use D-line adjustments: Pinch line (→ d-pad left + down), then slant inside (→ d-pad left + right stick down).
  3. 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.
