Pass rushing

I know this sounds like a dumb question but how do you make your linebackers pass rush and not be in coverage?

A few questions here:
1. What formation are you in?
2. What play(s) is this happening in?

I’m not sure what for Mario s but pretty much every zone coverage play, like cover 3 and 2, Is there a thing to adjust a individual player to pass rush?

If you want to make a linebacker pass rush after selecting a play try pressing right on the d-pad and then there should be a menu that will tell you what direction to move you right stick to blitz the linebacker you want to pass rush.

If they should be on the line rushing but you find them behind the line in a linebacker spot, you may need to substitute them onto the dline. I would also make sure they are set as your rle or rre in you specialist tab. Also check if you have them at sub lb in the specialist tab as well.

To change one individual to blitz select A on xbox or X on ps. Pops up the individual menu for said player. If during a play you want someone in coverage to blitz press right analog stick down. (Will send all the closest players to purse.
