Here's why I don't see that changing. We don't have competent blitzing LB's. We employ off the ball 4-3 backers. An offense knows the only real threat to the QB comes from our DE's and Suh. That's about it.
I also still have a suspicion about our run defense. Although we held the Chargers to a low Y/c, they only had 14 rush attempts and were using very basic run calls to barely keep tabs on respecting the run game.
The most frustrating thing I watched that game was our LBS blitzing and being immediately swallowed up, not even getting close to the QB. And yet we kept doing it constantly. It literally never worked.
Granted I know our LBS suck in coverage too, but at least they are a body taking up some space when dropping into coverage. Blitzing the LBS we have is basically just playing a man down.
