How to fix their anemic pass rush?

How to fix it? Play better. Solutions come from within, not outside the facility. This ain't Madden. Hired mercenaries mid season rarely walk in and solve existing issues. Can they help? Sure

I have to disagree. I think it's a scheme problem. We have enough talent to have at least a viable pass rush.

Outside of Maxx Crosby there aren't any truly pass rushers available, with the Raiders early success, he is most likely off the block. Could be the reason why Cowboys management pivoted in acquiring the high-end press corner. They still could add a mid-level type like a Josh Sweat, but probably would have to overpay. Point is, they isn't an elite edge rusher coming to save this defense.

As I mentioned, in another post Mike Pettine has worked with CP in the past while both of them in Green Bay. Matter of fact the Cowboys tried to hire him as a consultant onto CP's staff. His last stop was with the Vikings under Brain Flores, but he also was Rex Ryan's DC with the Jets:

Jets designed a defense around Darrell Revis with an average pass rush. They used a ton of simulated pressures. Not saying Porter is on the level as Revis, nor has to be, but this can work to generate more pressure and force the ball out more quickly.

Blitz? Vs the Texans when Parker did good things happened. Plain and simple it seems but nope
