Two guys have the skillset on this team to rush the passer and you are just dreaming and being a complete homer in assuming that anyone else is just going to magically break out. That's a pipe dream, not production.
I'd want nothing more than Dontari Poe to come out and be the next Neil Smith but I'm going to be realistic and realize the guy is green as grass.

Romeos defense is not aggressive. And we were very often asking two gap guys to play 1-gap. And the bulk of their training was 2-gap. A scheme switch will make everybody on the front 7 effective except for our two d-ends. And we obviously need another ILB, but that role shouldn't overly affect our pass rush.
