Would it be fair to say then, that any pass rush, will involve a blitz? Or can you call it a pass rush if only the lineman rush the QB?

A pass rush is simply that.......defenders rushing the pass. In its basic form, you judge a team's pass rush (be it either blitzing or in base package) by number of sacks. However, there's something to be said for a front 7's ability to disrupt the pass without sacking the QB....ie. # of interceptions, QB comp. %, etc.
So, a blitz is always part of the pass rush, but the pass rush does not always involve a blitz.
