Again every off season there are some talking points that people try and talk about but that doesn't mean that in prior years these things were any less important.
Scheme has a lot to do with it. When you play an off cover 2 zone with a four man rush most the times you aren’t really “creating” pressure. A lot of turnovers come from pressure and Zimmer and in turn Guenther banked on four man rushes getting home. The idea behind a man press schem is you bring extra rushers causing pressure along with the press at the line it puts DBs in a position to undercut more routes and gives the rush a little extra time to get home. Thing to remember here is you will occasionally get burnt but that’s the way it goes.
