As our line's most likely gonna be pretty much the same next year, I'm gonna point my finger more at the rushing schemes developed for them. If you're blitz happy, it takes a lot of pressure/accountability off of the front four. A lot of folks don't play up to snuff if they're not being pushed into it. Plus the lineman's role becomes more the eating up blockers kind of thing than actually creaming the guy with the ball. I don't really think getting to the quarterback is as important in this scheme as just causing enough pressure to cause the ball to be thrown to one of our formerly rock handed DB's.
