In my CFM I have 5 out of the top 10 tacklers as MLBs and 30 out of the top 70 are LBs. I've played every game on the schedule and have 5 games left to play in week3. I user the D-linemen though, usually one of the interior lineman and that seems to free up my LBs to make plays on the ball. Also the type of calls made can make a difference in how many tackles your LBs get.
If you start trying to make it easier for them to shed blocks, you'll start seeing D-linemen getting too many tackles and that will hurt the cpus run game more so.
Here's my most recent game, I lost 27-21, I was the Cardinals vs 49ers (cpu). It was a defensive battle, so alot of guys got tackles.
