It is nice to have the luxury of a player who can blitz and pressure the QB but it is not the first qualification of the position.

I would agree with you. While certainly not the only part of ones game that's important, but rushing the passer has got to be the #1 priority of an outside LBer in this scheme. It can be disguised and schemed for an OLBer's ineffectiveness of rushing the passer but I would imagine most defensive coordinators would take a better pass rusher than a run stuffer / cover guy any day, especially with Doms preference for the nickle package and large quantity of points our offense is capable of scoring.
