Shanny's had success in Denver with that scheme, and our last season was pretty good too. I don't think you need maulers to pass pro, especially when you can freeze the LBs with good PA (set up by running plays in similar sets) and burn blitzes with quick slants and outs.
edit: Yeah the Pats OL is underrated, but Brady's dink and dunk can make it impossible to get to him as well.
