If we have 3 down linemen and one LB rushing the QB with success, adding a 4th down linemen wouldn't hamper our ability to pressure the QB at all.
But our ability to stop the run could help our offense possess the ball on more possessions, and with that it would more than likely allow us to score more points and put pressure on the opposing team to pass, and with an extra rusher on each play we could be much more varied in our attack of the QB.
Everyone can talk about how this is a passing league, but stopping the run in the playoffs will be a must. If Chubb and Johnson almost ran for 100 yards, Gurley in that Rams offense may run for close to 200. The Rams and McVay won't be adverse to running the ball down our throats even if they are down.
Giving up 5.1 yards per carry isnt something we can continue to do and have the playoff success we all want.

Wanna know who is worse against the run than us? That team you keep talking about. So worst case scenario, we get into an old school 1980s shootout and just run every play.
At the end of the day, teams HAVE to pass against us. You have no choice with the way we can score the ball. Theres a reason why despite being so bad against the run, teams are only running 24 times a game against us (10th in the league). Our offense is a rush defense. It forces teams to abandon the run.
