And you base this claim on what?There's no evidence BB thinks the pass rush is a problem.

People keep forgetting one simple thing: we went 14-2 last year. I think something liek 8 rookies played significant roles, and we didn't get much rush from our front 7. Imagine what life will be like with Cunningham, Spikes, Deaderick, and McCourty with a year under their belt?
14 and TWO! with no pass rush....
imagine if it improves only 10%?
They need a pass rush more than a WR who can stretch the field.
But if jets get nnamdi..then i think WR will be more important AFC east wise

Yes, its a record as the worst made up stat ever.I believe pats have been dead last in 3rd down defense since 2008. Must be an nfl record or something.
If they get Nnamdi, I think WR becomes less important vs. the Jets, because you're not going to complete anything against those guys anyways. Might as well have them locking down Brandon Tate, since whoever else we'd be getting would be equally (in)effective.
If that does happen, it just becomes all the more imperative that we be able to dominate them on the ground and with our TEs.
On a side note, this is exactly why I think it's crazy to pay any CB the kind of money that the Jets pay Revis. You can always just not throw at him. Granted, that makes everyone else's job a little easier by letting the safeties help out more in other facets of the game, but it's much harder to prevent, say, an elite pass rusher from making an impact.
This is a case of stating a negative team performance and using that as proof the reason you want to pin the performance on is the reason.People also keep forgetting one other thing:
We're 0-3 in our last 3 PO games, 2 of which were at home, the other at a neutral site.
When you can't dial up any pressure even at home, then you have a big, season-killing problem.
...and it would be like the Yankees having ARod Jeter and Tiexiera and 6 minor leaguers in the lineup
Lord, I hope not. I'd rather have Manny Lawson or Matt Roth. Not a matter of fans being irked or not. The question should be is our pass rush good enough to win a championship if we don't improve it? My answer to that would be doubtful.

Any of the Manny Lawson, Mathias Kiwanuka et al would be amazing, but the Charles Johnson signing essentially indicated anybody with a hint of talent is going to get crazy stupid money thrown their way this FA period.
