I really struggle with my pocket presence. I'll get anxious and run right into a DE or move to the right and make it easier for the DE to disengage and sack me or I'll pass quickly not realizing I have good protection. I've thought about blocking my TE or RB more often to give me a little more time but I rarely block an extra person. I suppose blocking an extra person while it would take away a route but it would also simplify your reads cause you'll have one less to route to read and better protection. Still though my PP is terrible and could improve alot.
For me, pocket presence was one of those things that I had to just sit down and practice to get better at. I would go into practice mode or h2h if you want reps against real opponents and just solely focus on your on improving your pocket presence.
One thing I will say is that sometimes all you need to do to buy time is just take a step up in the pocket.
