Quote:Say there's a split like this:

 

LEO: Vernon 70%, Fowler 30%

DT: Miller 60%, Jones 20%, Fowler 20% (passing downs)

DT: Jackson 50%, Marks 50%

DE: Odrick 60%, Jackson 25%, Irvin 15%

 

 

Fowler is still playing on roughly half the snaps, but he could play some spot minutes at the OTTO too. Not to mention that he is coming off of an ACL tear and it may take him a while to get his feet under him. I'm a big fan of loading up on defensive linemen and having them constantly rotate in and out. It keeps them fresh throughout the game and can give you a big advantage as the game goes on and offensive linemen get tired.
