We have never been close to 65.  :)

The word “functionally” is doing some work there.  We were in the mid to upper 70’s, but amongst those players, there were easily 10+ non-contributors, so that’s like having functionally 65 players.

Obviously, every team is going to have some non-contributors.  You can’t have 85 players on your two-deep, but if you start with 85 players, having a dozen non-contributors leaves you with plenty depth, whereas if you start with 76, you will be dangerously thin at some positions *cough* inside linebackers, safety *cough*
