I've got two casual league teams with pretty decent player builds. I myself have a couple of defensive backs on both teams. We don't have a big problem stopping the run but have a big problem stopping the pass. It seems like the TE is never covered and RB's out of the backfield are never covered as well. As for what I tell my team, I've got them at -.95 in coverage being aggressive. I run a 4-3 blitzing 85% of the time. As for my pass defense I've got it set at 90% to 10% on man coverage underneath. Defend short pass 50%, medium 30% and long 20%. This is obviously not working for us. We are still winning games but giving up way to many passing yards and I know it's going to come back and bite us in the ass at some point. It seems like my CB's are playing 4 to 5 yards off the WR, this is not only happening in my lvl 4 team but also by lvl 18 team. My players seem to do the same thing yet their vision is high, agility is high and speed is high for their levels. Anyone have any thoughts on what I should do. Haven't been able to figure out how to defend the casual passing. Any comments will help, thanks in advance.

Zone coverage and 3-4 D will slow down the pass. But will open you up for the run. 4-3 will stop the run but open you up for the pass. My suggestion is make two AI's one against the pass and one against the run. Game planning is going to be the key. Figure out which one you want to stop the most and go with it.
