    If Debo is ready to play ( Have not heard either way as of this writing) does he play over Moats or is this a foregone conclusion because Tomlin never really replaces personnel when an injured player is slated to come back.

    What would your call be as a coach? Do you think a healthy Harrison is better then using Moats. ?

    I would rotate Harrison and Jones and Worilds and Moats. Harrison should be reenergized after a few weeks off.

    When talking about Harrison/Moats...they've been rotating them since Harrison came back. So they'd continue to do so.

    However as troybellringer55 said above the new piece to the puzzle so to speak is Jones.

    Obviously if Jones is good to go (as I read he had no setbacks)...you could rotate him and Harrison and then on the other side have Moats come in for Worilds here or there. Shoot they could rotate all 3 (Jones, Harrison, Moats).

    Obviously you'd like to see Jones out there more and gaining more experience and hopefully getting back to where he was before injury....but at the same time you can't jeopardize the team by keeping someone more effective on the sideline the whole time.

    Either way its a good problem to have...and hopefully Jones can learn from Harrison in the long run.

    I'd like to think jones has kept up his conditioning since the wrist injury. not being a lower body injury, where he had to sit more, is favorable to his being able to go for longer periods of time on the field.

    debo may have a harder time because of his injury being a knee. moats, jones and filtering in Harrison at this point in a rotation may be better off. mots could also move over and fill in some for worilds to get a breather too, with this type of rotation.:cool:

    If they are all able to go and contribute, then I think you want to get them all plenty of snaps. Keep on throwing fresh edge rushers at the Atlanta tackles.

    I kinda like Moats over Jones. He just seems stronger, and gets more push. Doesn't he almost leads or second on the team in sacks! Even with his limited time at about 50 per cent of plays.

    Jones had 2 sacks and a forced fumble in 2.5 games. Jones really had a good start to the year.

    That would seem to make the best option. Based on the thought that we can make it to the playoffs, it certainly would be better to have a healthy veteran like Deebo

    Didn't Moats start earlier in the season only to have Harrison take the most snaps? If by start you mean Moats should get the bulk of the plays, then I'll agree with you. But I do think JJ and JH both need to see the field. Any chance anyone other than Moats from this group takes some snaps on the left?
