Offensive line depth (R. Thomas' injury)

[The Goat]

But again it goes back to the larger point of taking a pure DE and trying to put him in another position. So far it's been a shit-show and I really feel for Orakpo. Two games and he's got two tackles (as a SLB in our defense that's hard to stomach).

...it's another case of the FO not having it's cookies together...we were desperate for LB talent and Oline talent. DE turned out ok because Daniels came back as the starter anyway and Zoe is putting it together nicely. It just looks like the one hand has no idea what the other is doing...as the team puts together a decent dline the FO goes out and gets a guy who can't really fill a big hole on defense in Marcus' absence. I mean in Springs' case u can say Vinny at least made the attempt w/ Hall...putting Rak in as LB when we could have easily walked away from the draft w/ a monster at the position in Rey is sort of hard to wrap my mind around. It's not as goofy as Oakland's draft but it's still utterly bizarre it relation to the team's needs.
