That's a decent pass rushing core when Romeo has turned the heat up, the DL has shown the potential to get pressure, too...again when they are getting the calls that let them attack instead of playing on their heels.

lol arenas and berry. i hope you are not serious.

most good teams have about 5 to 7 good pass rushers in their front 7. we have 2. DJ helps sometimes.

and thats why we have been consistency on the bottom of team sacks and rushing the passer year after year after year. the stats dont lie, under Pioli we have been one of the poorest teams rushing the passer.

Actually, you shouldn't laugh at Arenas in this context. He's pretty darn good at blitzing, getting there, and closing the deal.

The amazing thing is that Roleo rarely (if ever) calls his number for this purpose.

Your number is a little high there. There are only 7 in any Defense's front 7. Not every LB and DL can rush the passer on ANY team.

Yeah saying most teams have 5 to 7 of their 7 being good pass rushers is an extreme stretch. The point of having depth in that category is a good one. But even the great pass rushing teams don't have 7 of 7, and certainly not most teams have 5 to 7.

good teams like the 49ers, Giants, etc roll out like 5 pass rushers on passing downs.

i thought that was understanding, we are talking strictly rushing the passer not base defense

That is 2. The only 2 that I can think of. That is not "most good teams".
