MJ is in on 78.4% of our snaps this season. That's more than any of our other defensive lienman. 5th most on defense.

Peko has been getting more of a rotation. It's increased over time. But would like a 50-50 with him and Sims. However, they also put Hunt at DT from time to time. But they usually let Hunt come in at Atkins' position.

I think we would have seen Billings get a significant amount of snaps this season. But, in all honesty we are not as deep a team as we once believed.

Absolutely.

I knew MJs snap count was up there, but wow.  I too would like to see more Sims, and have seen Hunt spelling Geno.  I would also agree with others that it seems zero push up front is what is the biggest problem on the defense.  I also think we have taken a step back in over the top coverage.  That said, a healthier pass rush would alleviate that somewhat.  In all honesty, we're not getting good push from EITHER line.
