I don't disagree, I just think Herbert's effectiveness was not really due to lack of pass-rush.
For one, he's a good QB. He was often getting the ball out decisively and quick. Second, he's kind of a freak athlete. I've been listening to Chargers media since the game, and they are all talking about A.) the constant duress he was under and B.) most other QBs would've taken 5-7 sacks.
I mean, this guy is a 6'6 giant with a 9.7 RAS. QBs don't normally stiff arm DL and LB that have them dead to rights and extend plays like that.
Again, I'm not saying I'm satisfied with the rush. I just think coverage is the bigger concern going forward.
