NTs are not typically 3-down players, just run stoppers that get swapped out for nickel DTs in pass rushing situations.

But for pass-rushing DTs, I disagree.

Look at these impactful pass-rushing DTs this year:
Buckner - 70-80% every year he's played other than his rookie year. 7.0 sacks this year at 72% snap count
Wilkins - 80% snap count this year, 8.0 sacks.
Chris Jones - Typically playing right around 70-80% snap count every year. 74% this year, 80% last year.
Aaron Donald - Typically 80% or higher snap count every year.

Sorry if I don't agree with only using a DT 60% of the time, but plenty of good pass-rushing DTs are able to be highly-productive at 70% or more usage. I do get what you're saying in terms of keeping fresh, but I want my best players out there most of the time.

60% is probably a little now, but 65% is what I would like to see. That’s about what 700 snaps?

Edit: All-Star Games are gonna be crazy this year. We are already seeing guys like Christian Mahogany, Beaux Limmer, and Javontae Jean-Baptise in the East West Shrine and Fabien Lovett in the Hulu Bowl.

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MAHAGONG IS GOING SO LOW
