i got 303 exactly.... but that is ok, since i gave a big 60yds play...so it will be around 260.
i`ll try one more game...but i feel that the passing game from the CPU will be over 200yds every game no matter who i play with

Well, the only thing I can say is that it is a VERY VERY rare occurance that a team is held to under 200 yards passing. The NFL is a passing league first nowadays. The Cardinals only had 3 points today against the Falcons, but McCown still went 20/26 for 198 yards. Cincinatti got blown out, but still passed for over 300 yards.
I realize that not everyone's slider sets work for everyone, so feel free to bump the AWR if you feel you need to. I've bumped it to as high as 15 and the safeties still played like crap (in my opinion). Do what you need to do in order to make it work for you -- It's not going to hurt my feelings, I promise
If you bump the AWR and still are having problems with the pass, bump knockdowns. It seems to me that Awareness on defense only determines how quickly the secondary says "Oh $hit! We just got BURNED!" and the knockdown actually keeps them somewhat close enough to the receivers to be able to make a play.
EDIT: And I wouldn't worry about an 88 OVR player not being a "shutdown safety". If you look at most of the safeties' ratings, 88 is still somewhat in the middle of the pack (albeit at the high end). If you start drafting or signing safeties from free agency, the most important attributes for a safety are AWR and TAK. The safeties are the last line of defense (literally), so they need to be aware enough to be in the right position (and the correct position will beat speed 99% of the time) and not let anyone with the ball get by because of a missed tackle. Second to those, of course, is speed, but if you're having to worry about catching up to a guy that already went BY the safety, there's bigger problems than just signing fast guys
I apologize if you already knew all of this -- I just like rambling
