HELP! I keep getting smoked over the top every game ALWAYS. I run cover 4 show 2, multiple cover 6 schemes, Tampa 2 (dime and nickel), and Cover 9, but nothing helps. It’s like the defenders are not even close to the receiver when he catches the ball. I've had so many 1-play drives against me. I’m running Ravens D with Lamar Jackson (94), R. Barber (95), Z McCollum (95), M Fitzpatrick (96), R Clark (93), K Hamilton (96), and T Edmunds (95). These are all boosted OVR values. I know I’m not great, but this is getting ridiculous.

This is tough to definitively answer without seeing clips of exactly what's happening but a few things you can look for...
1. Make sure you aren't pressing your defense regularly as this can put them in position of getting beat easier.
2. Make sure not to always show blitz for the same reason above.
3. Don't ever run commit
4. If you're opponent has a coverage bomb for a specific defense, make sure to switch things up and give them different looks.
5. If they are running the double passes, play man coverage and pass commit.
I know this may not help, but there isn't an absolute answer without seeing what's going on in the games for you.
