I have not seen the PFF numbers but FootballOutsidres breaks it down by number of rushers because 3-4 teams have a LB rush almost every pass play. Last year the Bengals rushed only 4 players more often than any team in the league, yet we had one of the bets pass defenses in the league.
MJ and Peko have not been near as good as last year. Neither has Geno for that matter.
