We clog the LDE position, probably overpay for the guy, and then the sack production still doesn't significantly improve. Because the problem is interior DL/scheme related (in the sense that pre-snap reads are effective against us, so QBs can get the ball out under pressure).
I think the fact that Jason Taylor hasn't improved our sack rate, and has actually forced Carter's sack production to decline is about as solid as evidence gets that personnel at end is not the reason why we can't sack QBs.

I agree with this 100%. There are a lot of D-Lines out there getting a ton more pressure than ours with a lot less talent. I think i read some where that the d-line plays for the run and don't drive to the QB per Blache's choice. I would love a change of direction of the defensive schemes. I know we have a "highly" ranked defense, but do you really think they are one of the best???
