Some one tell me why our team does not bump guys at the line of scrimmage? We seem to give every WR a clear shot to their route. Would not bumping a guy at the line give more time for the pass rush to get there because it would slow down the development of the pass routes? I'm not a football person, but this seems like it would help so much.

I think, but don't know for sure, that it's because our corners wouldn't be able to recover after the jam, especially with fast WR's.

Adding to CRedskins' response, we have terrible safety play as well and our secondary doesn't communicate well. You can bump WRs at the LOS if you have good coverage up top with your safeties. But in most cases either a) our safeties our not fast enough/good enough to cover fast WRs and b) lack of communication could lead to a WR being wide open (which happens a lot with our team).
