Pass rush is really irrelevant against it as Jesse Palmer pointed out last night. That's a staple of the Air Raid - they actually want you to blitz because it opens up the field for their quick hitters and WR screens.
Pressure is never irrelevant. You wouldn't want to be aggressive and blitz the heck out of it, but if your front 4 or a 3 man line can get pressure (especially up the middle), then you can force mistakes or throw aways. Did you not watch the LSU D against them in 2012-13. OR the Auburn game from last year? Pressure was the difference.

Straight line speed isn't as important as the ability to start and stop with elite quickness.
Speed is necessary. Having the fat linebackers like Bama and UGA have is a recipe to get torn apart by this offense. However, speed isn't as important and TACKLING.

If the offense is humming it's gonna be hard to get sacks. But pressure is still important. Getting penetration and having D Line get their hands up and swat passes or disrupt throwing lanes can be huge for messing up the timing.

I will say this. Hill is a much better passer the JM.
