Come playoff time, stopping the run is more important than being able to rush the QB. By the time you play in the AFCC or SB, you're gonna get a QB who gets rid of the ball quickly and a good OC who won't put his team in a position where edge rushers have a lot of time to do their thing.
Our pass rush looked great against the non-playoff teams that were constantly passing downfield to try to catch up to us in points, but in the big games, it usually is neutralized.
Hopefully we can at least be very good at stopping the run, and improved in coverage. If you can do that, you can generate some pass rush with the blitz.
