One of the big issues that everybody talked about last year on defense was the lack of pass rush.  Murphy isnt ready, Ossai is hurt, Gunter and Sample have not proven to be pass rush guys.  We had a DE that stood out in the preseason amongst the other DEs at getting some pressure to the QB and we waive him.  I know its only preseason and having a good preseason doesnt mean you are going to be a good player in regular season but you would hate to see Johnson get claimed by another team and do well if we continue to struggle getting pressure keeping the same guys that couldnt get pressure before.

Maybe Lou is planning to use more trickery, shifts, stunts and such up front to help the line get pressure better. Of course the major lack is actually INTERIOR pass rush. If we can get real pass rush inside watch the pressure numbers skyrocket.
