I'm sorry, but that shows a lack of understanding abt. how the parts of a defense work together. A pass rush makes the QB react more quickly. No db can cover a wr for long.
...and the better your back 7 are in coverage, the more effective your rush gets.
It works both ways. I think our coverage was worse than our rush last year.
I think our rush will be improved - rankins healthy, fairley retained, okafor added, kikaha and ellerbe hopefully healthier. I'm sure we'll add a rusher in the 3rd who will add something to the equation.
We've also improved our back end with Lattimore and Williams.
