You can play a ton of man to man and not only give the pass rush maybe a half a second more to get to the QB (hopefully) but it also opens up your ability to dial up different pass rushes through unual blitzes-something Lou is very good at. So while i agree our DE position isnt the greatest it may not have to be if the rest of the defense plays up to what we are paying them (and gave up to get them)

Latu hopefully takes the next step. But I am not convinced by anyone else on the roster at all at DE. Which was also the same situation last year.
Now yes there may be a baseline increase in the pressure rates based on the play by our defensive backs. But I am not sure that will be because the DE’s have played any better.
