Is his nickname ready? I don't want to delay his return. We need him.

Tapper will not have anything to contribute THIS season (or postseason). He's a rook, not in game shape and is rusty as all hell. And that's IF he's even 100%. Lael makes more sense as the IR designee to return, especially with the Big Owie (Chaz Green) rumored to be going to IR.

Absolutely. Even if Tapper comes back, we're talking about someone playing 8-15 snaps. An OL going down now can take down the offense. Collins can basically backup 3 to 4 positions on the OL and has to be better than Looney as a 3rd TE in that stupid short yardage package.

Not even a decision unless we lose a bunch of DEs these last few games.

Definitely better option than Looney as 3rd TE. Good catch.

But considering the relative low standard we have,Tapper could possibly come in and instantly be our best pass rusher. How many sacks does he need to take over as our leading sacked? Like 3?

I kinda wanted him to return. He's really fast for his size. But I know how important the OL is, so La'el should be the choice if he's ready.
