The part that's frustrating is that people are using an irrelevant stat to say the guy is garbage. Saying he can't get a pass rush and doesn't produce sacks from his d-lineman isn't pertinent because it's not something that he's trying to do. His job is to stop the run and his lines have been very good at that when he was here.

Im not trying to be an arse, but are you familiar with a 34 defense? The dlineman are usually playing 2-gap so that they eat up blocks which allows the linebackers or defensive backs to get to the quarterback on blitzes. This allows you to bring pressure from anywhere on the field. Sometimes these obviously change depending on the personnel you have and the situation, an example that you might be familiar with is Upshaw playing the five technique or the outside shoulder of the tackle on obvious passing downs, but in general the lineman arent trying to generate a pass rush, but enable it.
