NE has been doing this early in the season for years now. They usually settle into a consistent 5.
I think you might be conflating things a bit. No one is saying that rotation of any kind is revolutionary, nor are they saying that swapping OLs is the primary reason for NE's success. As far as I can tell, all anyone is saying is that most teams think rotation along the OL is harmful, and NE going against such a widespread trend is potentially revolutionary if it spurs a change in this practice.
