Ideas to Improve the Jets Pass Rush

The Jets are having major issues getting to the QB. Whether they blitz or they don't, they are taking way too long to get there. It is time to explore a couple of ideas to improve the pass rush:
*Time to mix up the blitzes:
The Jets are sending too many blitzes up the middle. These blitzes are taking too long to get to the QB (due to traffic by the opposing line who are expecting it and also some holding that hasn't been called). Also these blitzes allow the QB to slip out of the pocket and buy extra time or run. It is time to send some outside blitzes, especially by Drew Coleman who flies and backup Safety James Ihedigbo who is a great blitzer.
*Speaking of Ihedigbo, it is time to put him at outside LB for blitz plays. He is a great blitzer. Our guys aren't executing. It's time to get him in there.
It cannot be stated how important it is to get pressure. Our zone coverage will suddenly not have holes and our man coverage will last long enough.
Please leave your ideas in the comments.
