The threat of a vertical, take the top off, passing game would be welcome after last year's passing game fizzled midway to the end of the regular season, with few exceptions.
They have pass rush specialists who get a limited number of snaps and are just going like hell using their given abilities to get to the QB. They are not asked to stop the run, to set the edge, or to do any of the dirty work. They are paid dearly to go like hell and knock the QB off his spot, or better yet off his feet. Are they making a mistake to not get what they can out of Janis' current skill set? If he got 5-10 snaps a gvename and was able to take the top off the defense, that could even open up the middle of the field if they had to commit an extra safety over the top. Just the threat of what he could do might open things up.
