The funny thing about our pass rush is that even though we don't have a dominant guy who is racking up big numbers, no Myles Garrett or Nick Bosa or Dwight Freeney, we are scheming sacks fairly well, tied for 12th in total team sacks, and there was a graphic in the last game suggesting we are leading the NFL in strip sacks this year but I can't find any stats offhand to support that claim - outside of being tied for 4th in forced fumbles.
So yea a great sack monster player would be nice, but right now it just doesn't look like a huge priority compared to the secondary which is currently a patchwork of backups and Kenny Moore.
