If your defense can't cover anyone well in base, why are you going to go ahead and just give them an open spot to throw the ball to?  In this particular defense, lack of pressure is a fault of the interior DL.  The NT HAS to consume two blockers, or else the OL has all 5, plus a back or TE with which to pick up a blitz.

For whatever reason, the Bengals DL isn't eating up enough blockers, in order to make blitzing profitable.
