Best guess for me is, 10% is roughly 106 snaps based on our defense last year.
Reggie Nelson played 1056 snaps at 97%.
10% of that would be 105.6
This includes playoffs, so 1056/17 gives you roughly 62 snaps a game.
That over one and a half games worth of snaps difference fred.
So you tell me, is that a big enough difference over the course of a season or not
I don't see a huge difference in 6 or 7 snaps a game. I'd use a first round pick on either if it meant getting an elite player. Every player counts. Don't know how you can act like a guy that plays half the snaps doesn't matter.
And if you don't have a NT to help stop the run your pass defense suffers also. It is much easier to defend a 3rd-and-7 than a third-and-3.
