We had the fourth highest pressure rate of any team in the NFL. Pressure covers up a lot of issues in coverage and even when that same team that can pressure doesn't get pressure it is often still causing an impact because it is usually attributed to keeping extra blockers (i.e. less route runners) in to block.
By the way, Burfict is just shot at this point. His technique is bad and it has nothing to do with the scheme.
