The problem with this debate is that it takes coaching out of the equation.
When I look at DJ, I see a guy who, until this year, was playing out of position.
When I look at this defense, I see a group that is coordinated by a guy who is a terrible talent evaluator that seems to always find a way to put players in position to to miss plays.
If DJ had been drafted by the Tampa Bay Bucs, Monte Kiffen would have found a way to put DJ in position to succeed, to get the most out of his talent.
Jimmy Wilkerson is having an outstanding preseason right now for the Bucs, and because Kiffen knows what he's doing, I fully expect him to play at much that same level into the regular season.
I've always argued that ****her did more to contain DT than any offense ever did.
His sack numbers didn't really decrease, but his overall pressure wasn't as consistent, and his overall tackle numbers did decrease rather substantially.
Those a just a couple of examples.
But that is the kind of thing that ****her has done consistently.
Right now, I'm waiting to see what Chan does in the regualr season to really get a feel for Croyle's development, because other than that first drive in the first game, the Chiefs haven't really opened up the playbook, except for a couple of plays.
