Let's see teams disrespect our vertical threat ability now.
WCO.The vertical threat wasn't being disrespected....it's just not hard to cover when you only release 2 receivers, the routes take 25 seconds to develop, and the 8 man protection scheme can't block 4 rushers. To be fair, 2 of the 8 were slot receivers that motioned back towards the formation.

Walsh’s quarterbacks became great by what they didn’t do: they didn’t throw incompletions (Walsh’s quarterbacks consistently completed over 60% of their passes, and occasionally closer to 70%), they didn’t throw interceptions (the interception rate per pass attempt went way down) ; and they didn’t take sacks, owing to Walsh’s meticulousness about their not holding on to the ball too long.
