Nah, I think the defensive problems with getting pressure are a combination of scheme, disconnect with coaches, and player skill. No DC is going to actively avoid trying to get sacks and in fact Knowles defenses at Ok State did get pressure and sacks. The fact that he was trying to simulate pressure on Saturday proves he wants to get to the QB. This guy already has 11 sacks so in OSU’s defense he could have easily gotten 6-7.
These players are all from smaller schools. They may very well be good players, but this is apples to oranges comparing them to those that are going up against top- notch competition. Kalil Macks are extremely rare.
If you have two people that agree on everything, that only means one of them is not thinking at all.

Can we do an in season trade for the guy with 11 sacks. Our last San Diego State transfer was pretty successful.

Why? He's just going to play pattycake and drop into coverage here.
Now i become Boob Salsa, grifter of men.

That is a bold assumption given all the reasons you stated before the quoted part but with Akron/WMU/Marshall he might have a shot.
