Well, for one example, when it comes to the pass rush of a 4-3 front, you've got to have six-seven guys rotating, staying fresh vs better offensive lines...

Last year for the Saints was a great example where we had all four of our DEs rotating in no more than a 70/30 split, and the DTs were nearly the same...

And that example showed quantity was every bit as important and effective as quality...
