There are too many good quarterbacks that given time will pick apart any DB. Making the QB uncomfortable is the best way to go. Have to agree, pass rush is the key to stopping the passing game.

I think Super Bowl 42 and the '07 Colts vs. Pats game proved that a great pass rush is the best way to neutralize a great passing offense. But I think the real reasoning behind this is the Raiders realize no good free agents are going to come to Oakland anyway, so why not spend the money on a dude who's already stuck there?
