Not only is this a strawman, but it's also step 3 of my previous post.

Yep
Quote: Not to mention that it's 2/3 of your defensive line
You need to try that math again. While they often run 3-4, they really run a hybrid defense. But it's not even as simple as saying 2 of 4, since you're suggesting that their 3rd OLB is a third of the the line. If we count all 2nd stringers in addition to the starters, you're talking 2 of the 10 players who routinely played on the D line.
So 20%. Which is not our "whole line".
I'll try to give you the same out I offered when you got your panties in a bunch about Jeremy Hill. All you have to say is "I exaggerated when I said you lost your whole line, but the Ravens will probably have trouble replacing such a dominating anchor for their D line".
You probably won't, though.
