We're not as far off as you think. Changing scheme alone is going to go a really long way.

You are making his point.
Those guys are getting 2 to 3 sacks each, and getting pressure, while also opening up opportunities for Harrison and Woodley, and any blitzes from the ILB spots.
You are not just getting pressure from two positions.
