Breh that's because your go to receiver are obvsiously TE or slot receivers. Remember the job of a linebacker in coverage are to cover those inside routes from te and slots.
My advice find receiver routes that utlize your number 1 and 2 receivers. That way you can take away some of that attention from your inside receivers
The tendacy for most Madden players is to look at the 'TE and Slots first for there reads.When in reality those routes from 'TE and Slots should be more your second and third options as opposed to your first
A good defensive player will almost always neuatrlize those te and slots route first
