How come we can't find Linebackers who can rush the QB?

I gotcha, sunset. I guess I was just saying that it takes a team effort to do these things (rush passer, stop the run, stop the pass, whatever). If you're corners or other position players are poop, then the best pass rush LB in the league will most likely have low sack numbers.
