Good quotes from Ballard at the owners meetings this week:

I think this scheme, where he can get off the ball and really disrupt and rush the passer, is going to be good.
“One of the things that we really sold him on was we want to be able to play eight guys,” Ballard said. “You would hope when you get it right, the most anybody is playing is 60, 65 percent (of the defensive snaps). That way you’re getting a rotation through the season where they’re not wearing down. I just think depth and having seven, eight quality guys that you can really play with, is going to benefit the whole group in the long term so when you do get into December and January, they’re still playing good football.”

Hopefully limiting his snaps will maximize what he can give the team (and keep him healthier).
