Pressure wins.

Almost all the top offenses are in the top 10 in sacks allowed. Of course I like pressure and getting to the QB. But the most dangerous offenses in the NFL right now have QBs who are either impossible to get to or are dangerous as hell scrambling out of the pocket. If we're talking about the playoff road, that's not going to be enough. We're giving QBs too much time to throw. But realize the more you tilt toward pass rush, the more you take away from some of the interesting things we do in coverages. We have to tilt that balance, not completely flip it upside down. At least not at this point in the season. We can dial up lots of different blitz schemes but what difference does it make if Brady and Brees get rid of the ball within 2 seconds?
