Ok, I've run through this play a handful of times & I "think" I know why this might be happening but I do not agree it should happen this way so am putting on here to see if this is working as intended.
Here's the play in question. Big I HB Sweep Right

Here's the defense called. Its a custom play but this is whats supposed to happen.

Basically, the LILB is supposed to cover the HB or FB to the strongside...and if neither of those are valid...go to flat strong. Obviously he does not do this & blitzes the QB for no valid reason (imo).
The player in question's tactics are set to:
Play focus: Pass focus
Pass rush aggressiveness: 100%
My speculation:Now I suspect the tactics themselves are part of the behavior but not part of a valid reason for this behavior. Apparently, based on this being the only instance I could find, he is being fooled by the run & is reading pass. But his assignments on the play are to cover man or go to flat coverage. If he is fooled by the run, then he should believe his man assignments to be valid OR zone assignment to be valid. There is no reason he should believe his zone assignment is invalid & simply jump to blitz imho.
Look like a valid bug? Or working as lolintended? Clearly I need to rebuild that (lol4-4) play but wanted to report it so that other similar situations (or triggers) do not lead to similar behavior.
