How do I get more time in the pocket?

When I play people they sometimes will send three linemen to blitz. I have secure protector and another ability on every linemen. they also don’t rush them back off their user. So I’m confused on why I have around 3 secs usually less?I don’t back up or try to roll instantly either and I think I have decent enough pocket precense. Am I doing something wrong or Is it the game?

Keep an extra blocker in.

Maybe consider running protected if you aren't. It could help a bit

But if your opponents are actually only rushing three you should have plenty of time to throw. There are the a gap blitzs which only rush four can be a bit cheesy. You can usually block them by sliding your line to the right and blocking your hb.

Seems like you at least understand that dropping back too far and rolling out can bring pressure. I'll have to trust your evaluation of your pocket presence since I can't evaluate it without seeing any gameplay

Yeah the above and your movement dictates the pressure. you can actually have like a minute back there if you make every single right move behind every block, or after a little while gets impossible, but you could do it for a while you just have to practice I guess. and the main cardinal sin, don’t hit r2/rt. But it sounds like you knew that already.

Have you tried protected on your QB?

Are you using an increased pass blocking strategy card?

Are you running shot gun or trying to run the offense from under center?

You can also manually call for a double team if you are having problems with a certain defender.
