You're half right and half wrong. The best pass rush comes from scheme AND individual talent. Have our schemes changed much over the last seven years? No. Has the individual talent changed much? Yes (minus Seymour, Willie, Vrabel, Colvin...). Our front seven has well underperformed those of the Super Bowl years in regards to getting after the quarterback, and it's because of the talent drain.
But people were calling for a better pass rush every year for the past 5 years, even when Seymour, Vrabel, Colvin, Harrison, Bruschi were still on the defense...
