This may be the first time I completely agree with you. However, we're being exploited right now, and are creating no pressure because when our secondary is blitzing, we're being exploited and we cannot get pressure with our front four. We lose alot of coverage sacks after 5+ seconds that we should be able to get someone in a QB's face, and even a no-name (or all name depending on how you look at it) QB looks like a genius throwing balls away or scrambling for positive yards.
