(I'm sure you all know this, I'm just saying)Rex's defense is built from the back to the front....the reason we blitz so much is because of his confidence in the secondary (Revis, Cro, etc...) to hold their own without any help.His defense is built to blitz....Bart Scott had a great quote last year "We don't blitz because we have too, we blitz because we want too."Also, I wouldn't look at sacks to determine how effective our pressure is...we force a lot of QBs to quick throws because of our pressure. (A reason why we lead the league in opposing QB's completion % by a large margin.)That being said....it still wouldn't hurt to have an elite pass rusher like Matthews on this team.  The only thing that can stop Clay Matthews is when he finally gets busted for PEDs (I kid....kind of :icon_rolleyes<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
