I don't want to completely diminish his tendency to have peaks and valleys of performance, but I think that better coverage and some interior pressure make a huge difference. 

Right now, we may be seeing un uptick in pressures from having Darious Williams kicked outside and QBs are not able to hit that first or second read as often as a result. 

Imagine adding a quality nickel and an IDL who disrupts more often. 

Yes, I've heard the arguments about having an edge rusher who doesn't need all that help to get home, and they are valid. 

I bring up the other positions that compliment our edge rushers because we have so many pieces to add in one offseason, and edge rushers are tougher to find, require more draft capital, need some time as rookies to develop, and are very expensive in free agency. 

They are ostensibly going to get a nickel back regardless - so there's no added expense there. So it comes down to where they might find a 3Tech rusher at a price that fits into their draft capital or FA budget.
