I was kidding but, my point is when a DL is inconventional it rarely works out. The other team can also make adjustments when they see that front. It's a wash but we will see. It might work against a weaker OL at times. That's a lot of weight given up so the 3rd DE would have to have uncommon power or speed. There is a reason why this is rarely done.
