i just do not get it. pass rushing has gotten so over hyped it over shadows total skill package.

DE has to set the edge. thats the first thing you learn at that postion.

next can he bull rush and collapse the pocket.

that what this team needs

The pass rush hype is due to two reasons:

First, the league is passing at an all-time rate...

Second, new pass coverage rules means you have to find other ways to stop the pass, so you stop the passer if you can't touch the receiver...

The Saints found something though when they started running the ball, the other team can't pass and run if they don't have the ball as long...
