I believe that we have some of the personnel that they have but their d-line is much better.

Only teams with dominating D-Lines can get away with not blitzing. I believe the Titans had a certain Mr. Haynesworth on their squad last year thus enabling them to get consistent pressure by collapsing the pocket. Blache only had one worthy pass rusher, Carter, and a bunch of role players (I am not including Jason Taylor on purpose). He tried to utilize safety blitzes, zone blitzes, corner blitzes, LB blitzes, etc. Ultimatley, a coach is only as good as his talent can perform/execute. Besides, our pass rush was pedestrian before Blache took over. Hell, it's sucked for almost a decade and a half except for a couple good Lavar years!
