They had faith in Turay coming on. Unfortunately he got hurt again.
Besides the Coaches do talk with Ballard. It's not all on him, Just the final decision.

Yet, those 7.5 sacks would have led the team this season. Instead they went into the season with no DE on the roster with double digit sacks - cumulative for their career. How many competitive teams do you think do that? Am I supposed to be surprised they had pass rush issues? You say it like nobody could have predicted the outcome. But I guess they maintained flexibility and saved a couple million again.
By the way - Autry had 9 sacks for Tenn this year, and had previously had 9 for the Colts. The 3.5 appears to be the aberration - not the 7.5 as you tried to insinuate.
