I dont know what they consider pressure but when we absolutely need it for a stop, we are no where near the QB. I dont give a shit what PFF says.
You're missing the point. We have 3 guys who generate A LOT of pressure - Dunlap, Atkins, and Lawson.
But, when the pressure gets there...the QB's just dump the ball to an open TE or RB or WR because the coverage is so bad.
Yeah no team gets pressure 100% of the time either so there will be plays you can point to and say look they aren't getting pressure. But our front 4 generates a tremendous amount.
The major issue on defense is the LB's are ALL playing poorly. If we had 3 above average LB's...the defense would be so much better.
And if you blitz these guys to generate pressure, things get worse.
