I always assume there is something the coaches see that we don’t to justify some of these odd decisions. These two moves seem pretty obvious given the early returns of the season.

It’s simple.
They absolutely never saw us adding Jarran Reed at DT and when they did, it made the most sense to move a DT to DE to balance the line. Similar to what Andy talks about with the OL putting “the best 5 guys on the field” philosophy.
It was absolutely worth taking a swing at it and it’s a shame Jones at DE didn’t work both times they tried (brief stint in 2018) but it’s gonna be nice having his disruptive talents back where they are most effective. Let’s just hope the days of “selling out for a sack, leaving wide open running lanes” are over and he is a smarter DL. If not, Derrick Henry is about to have a career game.
