A high landing attitude occurs mostly when you're performing a flap 22 landing instead of a flap 45. In a flap 22 configuration (mainly used in gusty winds and performing Cat II and III approaches) and approaching Vmfa over the threshold you're pitch angle increases due to the absence of slats at this swept wing of the embraer and the lower lift device when using flaps 22.
I have experienced pitch angles (with 19 tons landing weight) of about 8-9 degrees..

Hope this is clarifying your question
