Where does a blitzing LB and HHLB go on the custom slots on the depth chart

not a casual god, but this is what I use (from the FAQ section). doesn't specify where to put a HH LB.

How is the Offensive Depth Chart Setup? Link to this
The preset gameplans utilize the following depth chart setup:

QB = Passing QB
QB1 = Rushing QB - only used for Wildcat preset
QB2 = All QB's - this slot is seldom used for anything but handoffs/pitches
RB = Primary Rusher
RB1 = Power Back/Inside Runs
RB2 = Receiving/Scat Back
FB = Primary Rusher
FB1 = Blocker
FB2 = Receiving/Scat Back
TE/TE2 = Receiver
BTE/TE1 = Blocker

How is the Defensive Depth Chart Set Up? Link to this
The preset gameplans utilize the custom linebacker slots as follows:

LOLB1 = Blitzer
MLB1 = Coverage
ROLB1 = Blitzer

The above will only work if you use a defense preset in Casual.

That being said, if you use the %'s setting for casual defense there is no way to specify a blitzing LB for a particular play. A couple of things to consider for casual defense. In many cases it goes against common sense when setting the defensive depth chart.

1st thing to consider is forcing starters. if you are playing a balanced or passing teams, you want your best pass defenders (could include blitzing LB's if you use a lot of blitzing) on the field on 3rd down, so you need fo force starters.

2nd thing to consider is to have your better run stopping dots as the backups. The pass defenders will get tired eventually from being on the field for 3rd downs, so the better run defenders will, by default, be on the field for the earlier downs if set as the backups and starters are forced.

Last thing to consider is that in Casual, the running that really does damage is almost entirely outside due to the limitations to defense. Because of this, putting a slower run stuffer in the middle can be a detriment as they will be too slow for outside contain playing on the inside. I will usually put my faster LB's in the middle so that they can go sideline to sideline to both sides of the field and help in outside run support..
