That also leaves 8 defenders to cover, so even when you don't have instant pressure, you run into the problem of no one being open and coverage sacks. Also, there hasn't been much need to play the run, as we couldn't do that either. In addition, DBs last season said they knew what we were doing before we did it.....so, Zampese. There are a myriad of issues, but your biggest problem in the porous line. Too many people able to cover, no run threat, and sometimes no time for the route to develop allowing guys to get open. Another problem I see, is when the play breaks down, and the QB scrambles, I never see WRs breaking off the route and coming back to the QB to give him an outlet. Again, coaching.
People underestimate the importance of play action. Lbers and DBs don't worry when there isn't a running game to begin with.
