Taco was playing much later in the game than what I expected. My take is that they want to get a real good look at him and it has nothing to do with generating confidence. My guess is that they would like to see something from him to make them keep him, maybe generate some trade value. Could it be that if Taco showed something, DE Quinn could be let go assuming Quinn's contract can void if he is suspended (don't know if this is the case)? Better to spend the money on others. Same with Crawford. If some of the young players can play close to Crawford, I expect Crawford to be faced with take a pay cut or get cut.
I didn't see a whole lot from Taco the past two preseason games, though. Decent but nothing special.
