Read it closer. I said the method at which they went about fixing one of their stated big needs was bizarre. It's bigger than just Tapper.
They claimed in Feb that pass rush was a problem and they had to fix it. 6 months later, as they head into August camp, they built a DE depth chart that included ONLY ONE PROVEN NFL DE, and he was a known 4 game suspension back in April. They had chances to sign some key vets early, they passed. They had a chance to grab a situational DE in Freeney that would have definitely helped the pass rush. They passed. They put faith in Randy Gregory knowing that was arguably one of the riskiest decisions they could have made. They signed a two time cast off and tried to sell him as this uber talented, diamond in the rough guy.
And here we sit, Week 3, and our DE depth chart is a mess. The rookie we were counting on is likely done for the season. The savior, that everyone keeps claiming will fix everything, Lawrence, apparently also has some sort of physical issue that Jerry claimed today will need monitoring. Let's also note he had surgery in February and it was reported at that time his back was worse off than they thought. So they had advanced info on this and still chose to do what they did at DE.
They have a 3 Tech in Irving trying to play DE. They just had to move Crawford back to DE. And at this point, the real hope at getting any production out of the DE spot now rests in the hands of a guy the Jags cut a few weeks ago.
So yeah, the front office's plan to fix their biggest need on defense according to them was beyond bizarre.
