Being good at blitzing is a skill for a LB or safety,just as other parts of playing their position are.One reason i really liked Hawk coming out of college was he was great on the blitz.AJ has great timing on the blitz and once there,how to not get stuffed by the back or TE.
For years during the Sherman time,our linebackers really were poor overall as a group on the blitz.They would just charge in there without a clue and usually get stuffed.Now the team not only has a DL that can get to the QB,our linebacker group is pretty skilled at the blitz and Bigby looks to have that skill also.
While this is stating the obvious,if a defense can consistently pressure the QB,so many good things come from it.
