At this point, I think I might just pull the trigger.

Yuuuuuuup.

Hello, FRANCIS.

Nope. You guys have short memories. DJ got run over in the playoffs last year. Watch the second half of the Titans playoff game. DJ is a speed bump except for one good play where he got to Mariota on a blitz. And Triplett overturned that.

100 percent know he's not worse then what we have now. Even 50 percent of Old DJ is better then the trash we have now.

speed bump is still better then the Daytona Speedway! lol

Nah. He's done.

Sign him today. Seriously. He is twice the player zombo is and better than Ragland. We need someone on defense who knows what the hell he is doing.

The reason I'd take a flyer is that he knows the defense and hasn't played a ton this year so he should be fresh. I get that he's old. I get that he faded last season. But for a short burst of time I think he can improve the position.

I just remember him sacking the QB and causing a fumble. He made a great play.

Oh and it would be sweet for him to be on the team when we win the Super Bowl!

Few things in life are guaranteed. But I guarantee you that DJ and Colon had set up that question about the Pats in advance.

DJ had his "quarterback of the defense" speech all warmed up and ready to go.

Super slow to the flat, too.

Think about this, though, Mr. gblowfish ... we need some-damn-body on defense telling dudes where to line up and what to watch for. A statue with those skills might actually help this defense against the run.

I'm a DJ fan, so I'd be all in on him coaching our ILBs since Mr. Lanier isn't interested.

DJ would be an asset just helping them with film study.

FAX

Indeed.

DJ needs to get his ass in here and coach the LB's, they need some serious Tutelage.

Will he live that long?.....will any of us?

This. X10000000

Kick the tires, show the ropes...

That's kind of how I feel. Won't be slower than Ragland. Even if he gets run over, Ragland can't tackle either. If he's causing the same problems Ragland did at the very least he can provide leadership out there. Worst case, we get lb depth and a guy who helps us scout a critical game vs Oakland.

It's good stuff, too...

In a heartbeat. Clearly the players on this defense don't listen to the coaches(and maybe they shouldn't)but do listen to vet leaders(see Berry, Eric). At the least DJ could help get these idiots in correct positions

This is actually a pretty good analogy. I would take him over Zombo in a heartbeat (and he can't be much worse than Ragman).

Yep I remember.

DJ is done he is just to prideful to except that yet.

I'd sign him and let him backup the others until he's ready to coach. His presence alone would inspire the defense especially with Berry back.

he cannot be worse then the 2 we have right now. They make NO plays DJ while might be done, will make a play every now and again. Hitchens and Ragland make 0 plays.

It’s pretty clear that he’d just like the opportunity to go along for the ride. I’d sign him.

He can be a player, but primarily a coach for the starters. The entire defense obviously needs better coaching.

Yeah he needs to be with us

The way I look at it, our secondary was clueless Thursday night. Berry was there to straighten them out.

Well, our ILBs have been lost all season. So maybe DJ is the guy they need to teach them how to play in this defense.

Also, Cowherd needs to find a way to kill himself as soon as he possibly can.

I’d love to have DJ as a LB coach. But not a player

Now you are jaded like me. This ****ing franchise.

LMAO

Pretty much this, not sure how but assisted suicide is a thing.

Most definitely this

Sign him for the rest of the year, with the caveat that he is on the coaching staff next year. He would be a HUGE asset as a coach.

What position does he want to resign from?

I’d be ok with this. I mean bringing back the glory days has kinda been our thing this year ( Parker, Zombo, and Sharknado). I think we might even sign Spiller this week and cut him. So why not bring back DJ

Really dumb to turn down a coaching job under Reid. It’s like the golden stamp of approval in the NFL.

Besides, after Sutton dies in 7 years we will need a new defensive coordinator.

If you can play Berry for a half after almost 2 seasons of not playing, you can find a way to use DJ. He literally can't be any worse, and he's a general on the field and an inspiration to the players. Get him and Berry out there together, and I bet this defense at the very least improves...which is what you want to see. He won't make them top 10, but we'd get a few more stops and that may very well be enough.

Can't be any worse than what we have, and since Bob won't simplify his dumb ass scheme, DJ could at least get players in the right position pre-snap.

THIS! Like most here, I think he has a future in coaching. Despite him trying to play for the Raiders, I'll take him back as a coach.

Players always have a hard time knowing when its over. No one has picked up DJ for a reason. Lots of teams need ILB help, not just us. DJ is not even been worked out by teams. He needs to wake up to reality. He has pushed back as long as he can but, no one can stop ageing.

ROFL

That’s funny. It would be funnier if it were actually outrageous.

Too much common sense here.:shrug:

Fire Sutton and make DJ the dcoordinator

WTF? Too flashy? Too much of a hotdog? Cowherd is too much is his own head sometimes.

Seriously, with 8 minutes left and a 14 point lead, if you have Berry and DJ out there, they don't convert at least one of those 4th down plays, or they take even longer to score that first TD or something...

...we don't lose if those guys are on the field. Are they still world beaters? No. But damn people...

Yeah, that guy's ****ing idiot.

:hmmm:

I honestly can’t believe anyone actually pays attention to sprits talk. It’s all a ****ing joke.

DJ should be wearing a Chiefs shirt... (He'd play for anyone that paid him. Even if it was for one game vs. the Chiefs in the playoffs. Probably nothing wrong with that.)

Sports talk is a good time waster when im working out in the morning! It helps pass the time.

Novarro Bowman too plz

DJ had a good career, but I disagree with Cowherd that he's a HOF guy.

So I'm a Cowherd fan but even I'm tired of his takes on Mahomes.

So last week he rips Mahomes for his no look passes. Says shit like, "I want my QB to look where he's throwing the ball." Then puts a lipstick ring on the hairy end of Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson because while there are not sexy players to watch, they are really good.

OK fine. Then Wilson and Luck go out and and have shit games where neither throws a TD, he says nothing. In fact, I heard on his show on Friday to wait and watch Wilson be the dark horse MVP candidate because of Mahomes "off game" where he played exactly like he wanted him to and threw 2 TDs and no picks.

I understand its his job to be provocative - I've been in a similar business too, but you can't be ignorant or stupid.

DJ in for Sutton ROFL

Yeah I was actually shocked when he said that. I don't think DJ ever makes the HOF

I hope we sign him. Our defense is a dumpster fire. If it doesn't help things, so what?

He literally can't be worse.

You gotta be trolling with this.

What do you mean? We lost for years with those guys on the field. Andrew Luck and Marcus Mariota shoved the football up DJ's ass, and he was certainly better back then then he is now.

Eh. maybe he said let me see if I can sign somewhere first...he alluded later in the interview that was the direction he was headed in....He knows Reid's tree,and said he was the best HC he ever had...

Thanks for your insight,, Jeff Tripplett.

ROFL

At least they stayed down when DJ hit them. Can't say that for Ragland or Hitchens much.

A 70 year old man thinks we need a 40 year old player to come back and save the team. No thanks.

It's ironic this would come up now as I laid awake Thursday night thinking of the difference DJ might have made in that game.
He was drafted the same year as Aaron Rodgers.

Make DJ the DC or make Berry a player coach. Sutton is terrible

That's one more good play than we've had from that position all year

You do realize we play Reggie Ragland and Anthony Hitchens?

No. That chapter is finished.

Hate to disagree with ya, but feel I must here

To be honest, its really starting to piss me off that Veach hasnt moved on him yet

Hoover made some very good points earlier... he is fresh due to playing little this year, he'd be excellent on field leadership (ie; getting these ****nuts lined up properly and berating poor effort) and for just these last two regular season games + playoffs, he'd hold up just fine for a short stretch like that

There is simply no convincing me that he wouldnt be a net plus, hell just getting Ragland off the field whenever possible would be a massive win

Cowherd saying DJ will be a HOF. Nope.

Chiefs ring of fame? Sure. HOF? Nah.

Shut your whore mouth!!! All-Pro, 3x Pro Bowl, Chiefs all time leading tackler makes a pretty strong case in my book.

Agreed!

So JC is a HOF then?

False Narrative.

Mahomes can't even do that.

But he'd damn sure be better on bitz packages.

Is Donnie Edwards available?
