Against teams like Dallas, they simply couldn't generate any pass rush without sending the whole team, and they got burned when they did that.They dearly missed Jim Johnson, who was, IMHO, the best DC in the league (yes, ahead of LeBeau).If you watched any of their games, you know they tried to confuse the other teams by consistantly showing blitz, with a S in the box almost all the time. It worked beautifully with Jim Johnson, but McDermott simply didn't have the feel to know when to blitz and when to back off, not like Jim did.So that's why they needed a pass rusher. So they can play more normal sets, and still get the pressure they need, without overexposing them...</blockquote>
