I run a mix of dollar 3-2, big nickel, and 3-3 cub against gun formations, just to give my opponents different looks. My pass defense isn’t bad and its pretty adaptable, but by far my biggest weakness is the run. My go to run defense is nickel 3-3 audible into 3-3 cub cover 4 show 2, and its by far better than anything else I have but still isn’t great. Just had a game where a guy ran all over me with frank gore and would no huddle into pass plays if I ever got him on a long 3rd down. Biggest weakness of the D is that its a cover 4, so if he puts more than one route over the middle or a 15+ yard corner its going to get open. My playbook is 46 D, what do you guys do against people who spam runs every play?

Try running a 4-3 if you have " decent linebackers " spread the d line out wide and have the 3 linebackers fill holes . BUT YOU HAVE TO USER one of the LB's ( middle one ) incase they try a stretch play or pass . works all the time . can even mix in big Nickle .

under center runs or shotty?
under center runs with two te's and no wr on the te side i run what u running, Cub cover 4 show two. blitz the corner on the double TE side and he will usually force the run back to the inside for you to clean up. also user ur mlb and stand directly behind the center and shoot the gap side of the run. u usually can tackle the rb as soon as he gets the handoff on stretch runs or those annoying rpo stretch runs

The majority of the formations you listed is a 3 man fronts & I am pretty confident you are spamming safeties at the LB positions. Glad EA has started to punish people who sit in these META formations.
If you are really concerned about stopping the run, drop the META & mix it up with 3-4 or 4-3 formations.
