How come we can't find Linebackers who can rush the QB?

I can't even remember the last LB that we had that I consider to be a good pass rusher. Maybe Steve Foley or Takeo Spikes?

The main reason is that the Steelers play a 3-4, so they draft pass rushing LBs.  The Ravens used to run one, so they did the same.

The Bengals have run the same 4-3 where they prefer big (280 lb+) defensive ends, so the hybrid guy rarely, if ever, gets drafted.
