If you run your #1's full time for both periods you end up wearing them out and increasing the chance of injuries. First team defense should not be getting beaten up during the offensive portion of practice and vice versa.
I wasn't suggesting they do it full time for the whole practice, but part of the practice should always be 1's against 1's. I know they do this because linemen talk about practicing against each other, I'm just not sure of the percentage.
