I've been finding in short coverage he usually hits the line before a gap opens. Thought it might be better to blitz from medium or long coverage. Or maybe it's a formation issue?

you need to also blitz other players that show up higher on the OL's radar, so that the safety gets thru clean
This is pretty much the case....and I would try blitzing from Cover 1 or 0 close coverage. If you have ridiculous speed, you can blitz from further out, but it is rarely that effective.
