I believe that will be the case. I don't know, however, whether Gallimore is a better 1-tech than Woods. If he is even on par with Woods but better at rushing the passer, he makes Woods expendable.
Woods is a pretty decent run defender, though, (definitely better than some on here believe).
Poe and Woods make each other better. Both have had injury issues and are likely to miss some games.
Woods has been OK when healthy but he missed games last season and was not healthy in some others.
By having both they should be able to limit their snaps over the season. Even if Woods is inactive, he has value as a backup. Poe will get banged up. When he does, they can either have both active or give Poe a week off.
With 2 DTs there are 200% of snaps to be divided up. Most 4-3 team divide that up as:
starting 3tech: 60%
starting 1tech: 60%
second 3tech: 55%
4th DT: 25%
The 4 ways 4-3 teams play their DTs:
1 DT: For some obvious passing situations.
Both DTs as 3techs: For obvious passing situations they'll often play both DTs as 3techs.
Standard formation with two 3tech type DTs: For situations that are likely pass but maybe run, they'll often play a 3tech type DT at the 1tech position.
Standard Formation: In base they play the standard 1tech and 3tech.
