Why did Broncos easily beat everyone except for the Seahawks in the playoffs? Their protection was good up until they had to face the Seahawks.
Why did the Seahawks win the SB in such dominant fashion? They were disruptive everywhere along their DL which helped their secondary tremendously.
Ravens and 49ers - both great fronts, defensively and offensively
Giants? Absolutely dominant up front on defense and their OL was also solid. They destroyed Brady's pockets all day long in route to a SB win.
Etc etc etc.

but you're talking about pass rushers, not space eaters. play makers vs gap fillers. take D-Lineman all they want, if they destroy the pocket, crush QBs and force TOs
