Scrap Dupree and bring back Harrison

Maybe just keep Bud in the middle. Since he runs himself out of every play anyway, maybe he'll just make a mess and get his man tangled up with another lineman, making someone with some actual pass rushing skill have a chance to get to the QB.

Bud Dupree = Jarvis Jones

 

I think Dupree has to be used for the rest of this season but I hope there is a way to rescind the 5th year option. He hasn't gotten any better and he isn't even showing signs of improvement except for being offsides by trying to get a better jump.

It is clear he only has the speed rush, no movement and no way to try to get inside, and while JH isn't going to be back or even wanted back, it is painfully obvious that another player is needed to at OLB as well as ILB.

 

I would give Dupree 1 or 2 more weeks tops to show he even belongs on the field. If he doesn't, find a way to promote Adams and get him in a rotation to see what he can do given a fair chance. He already has more pass rush moves and the preseason showed at least he seems to be around the ball a lot....sadly we won't though and we will continue to march a underperforming Dupree out there,just like last year when Harrison rode the bench. We need our OLBs rushing the passer ,not covering WRs ....obviously

 

Yep. If Adams was inserted... that would mean Tomlin and Colbert whiffed on another 1st round OLB. Same thing with Adeniyi... that dude won't see the light of day as long as Bud is healthy.
