Owns what? You're really going to build the case that DJ, a guy we knew was inconsistent and prone to several big mistakes in the game and was the "quarterback" of a defense that ranked in the bottom 10 is ideal for the Mike? Just because PFF has a few stats where he did okay, much of which happened in garbage time?

I don't think DJ is suited for only one scheme.

Whatever Haley and Romeo did to fix him FIXED HIM. He's gonna succeed in ANY defense from now on.

They put him in a scheme where he could freelance. That's what he is, a freelancer.

Put him in a defense that requires absolute discipline and he goes right back to what he was.

He has no get off, no moves, no quickness.

He sucks.

He proved that yes he can play well in a 4-3, so yeah. I remember him flashing and making plays when he moved there and it's backed up by PFF which I regard very highly.

The best move could very well be going "Bronco style". Wes Woodyard has had a big year for ****'s sake.

He was also prone to horrible breakdowns. We set an NFL record for giving up runs over 20 yards one of those seasons.

Whoomp there it is!

That sounds like something someone would say and YOU would rail them for it

Sorry but I think DJ has been a very, very disciplined defender the last 3 years.

He's outstanding at staying in his lane, getting off blocks and making the play. Linemen can't get their hands on him in the open field.

He proved that he can play adequate in a 4-3. He didn't play well. The point being is that we're talking about three pro bowl calibre players in a 3-4 who you're now reducing in a new scheme.

Again... why do that when you can make the scheme fit the players?

He made some really insane plays behind the LOS last year.

In a 3-4, he plays in a narrower role. Limits potential for mistakes, and his mistakes can often be covered up by his teammates.

One swoop or death by 100 cuts like this year

Whatever they do....ATTACK!!!

This is just like people saying Hali couldn't play in a 3-4 four years ago.
