Will we have a better pass rush this year?

Hubbard not having a groin issue is going to help a lot

Rankins was listed as the 7th best DT in pass rush win rate by ESPN so him BJ Hill, Trey and healthy Sam should give us a boost there.

The secondary playing better will help the pass rush as well.

I’m just hoping we finally can influence games with just our pass rush since Lou loves relying on his front 4 to get home

Yes, we should be much better with our pass rush this year. Myles Murphy flashed big time at times last year and I didn't expect he 
would as much as he did as a rookie. Crazy talented. Trey playing for his future contract, a healthy Sam, Rankins added etc.

The question is will we be better at stopping the run. Sounds like our communication is already better on the backend and we added
2 of the best run stopping DT's in college in the Draft in Kris Jenkins and McKinnley Jackson. 

Also, with better Offensive play running up the scoreboard it also should help our run Defense.
