Contrary to popular belief, at least as I understand it, the middle pass rush in a 3-4 is primarily going to come from a LB. The 3 D-lienman are there to take on double-teams and if they are blocked 1-1 they need to be able to shove the blocker into the QB's face. Otherwise their job is to stand firm at the line, not get knocked off the ball and take on the blockers so the LB's can hit the gaps.
