DJ.........
 

besides how bad we looked as a team tonight, i thought DJ looked great. I mean 9 tackles in the first half is pretty freakin good. DPOY maybe not such a crazy prediction after all if he keeps that pace in games.

Just trying to sift through the crap that is our defense and find positives............

When were we ever good at preseason games ?

No time for predictions..... he looked good. Still misread some plays, but he's definitely gaining confidence and looks much more comfortable out there.... I think he'll have a really solid year..... DPOY? Who cares? Only important after the year is over..... the real prize is playing in February...

looked like all the starting LBs were playing during the 3rd quarter.... unless i'm mixed up

it's not my prediction, it was some sports writer for espn.com or nfl.com that said that, i forget his name. My brain is hurting from the ass kicking we just took.

Um...I hate to say it, but I was going to start a thread about how the Giants seemed to be picking on him in the passing game. He got a lot of tackles because there were receivers catching balls against him all night.

For that matter, I think the Giants specifically went after the left side of our defense when the first team was in. I don't think it was a coincidence that the first play was a reverse toward Eric Hicks' side of the field. And where was Hicks while the receiver was picking up 20 yards? Crashing into the middle of the line again.

This is getting old. Tamba Hali, where are you?

i don't think they were picking on DJ, i think they were picking on everyone. But maybe you're right, i hope teams pick on him all year, sooner or later it's going to burn them, he's too much of a playmaker

I agree... I hope Hali proves durable.....

DJ is a great player-I wish he would blitz the QB more???

he wouldn't need to if the fat boys up front did a little

They blizted him several times tonight.... he was picked up each time though... I think he'll come around. He's gaining confidence.

DJ is good...but he is the WLB...he's going to see more plays run at him

DJ is the strongside linebacker. He was run at plenty of times last year.

You are incorrect he is the left outside linebacker...which is typically the WLB.

DJ is going to probably have a real good year its his second year he should read and play better....BOOG CARES....
