Snap Decisions: Playing Time for Curry & JPP?

Last season, NFL defensive ends Vinny Curry and Jason Pierre-Paul combined to play 1,713 defensive snaps, the former in Philadelphia and the latter with the New York Giants. Now that Curry and Pierre-Paul are the potential new starting DE duo for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they will likely provide a similarly large amount of playing time to their new team, but perhaps in a different configuration.

That is, Pierre-Paul might benefit from seeing a somewhat smaller share of snaps, while Curry will likely find himself filling a larger role in Tampa than he did in Philly.
