HOW pathetic is this mother****er?

HE COULDN'T TACKLE A GUY WHEN ANOTHER CHIEF WAS TACKLING HIM AT THE SAME TIME!

THIS

DJ was out of position or missed so many easy tackles that resulted in long gaines last Sunday that I lost track of the total.

BTW, I've heard some info that explains why DJ never developed into a top LB in the league but I'm not going to post it because its not the solid and if true is very personal to DJ. Besides he's gone next year and eventually it will come out.

It's a very personal "something" about his outlook in life. It's very sad and pathetic. I've had this info for at least 2 years and nothing has changed which has made it even more sad and pathetic. Doesn't really matter, DJ is gone in 6 games.

Actually, I'm thinking that DJ actually helped knock out Big Ben. Am I right?
If I'm wrong then I don't disagree.
Hopefully DJ can help knock off Pip Rivers head today.

no .. you're right. DJ is the one that knocked Ben out ... he also made a couple of other good plays.

the problem is that he screwed up double digit play as well.

2 good plays do not offset 12 bad plays.

Any chance of the crazy over-the-blocker sack in .gif?

I'll start with Cassel, Kansas City’s quarterback.

I’m not calling for Cassel to throw multiple touchdown passes or for 300 yards or a completion percentage approaching 70. I’m calling for the continuation of the courage Cassel displayed after he nearly fumbled the Pittsburgh game away.

Cassel was a different player after his fourth-quarter fumble. He looked like a QB worth the $63 million Scott Pioli gave him.

Starting with a huge strike to Lance Long down the middle of the field, Cassel led the Chiefs on a game-tying, overtime-forcing TD drive and then hit Chris Chambers with a big pass that set up KC’s game-winning, overtime field goal.

Before those two drives, Cassel appeared to be intimidated by Pittsburgh’s pass rush. He was the total opposite of Pittsburgh’s Ben Roethlisberger, one of the league’s most courageous quarterbacks.

The fumble and circumstance triggered a resolve to make plays that we hadn’t seen from Cassel. I want to see that resolve again today.

If we see that, then the victory over the Steelers has long-lasting value. The Chiefs might have a leader at quarterback.

#1: It's not simply a question of "Cassel playing sucky" vs. "Cassel playing better". It also involves the O-line, the pass-catchers getting open and/or hanging onto the ball, the runners actually getting positive yardage, etc.,.

#2: I don't think it's a coincidence that when they simplify things, Cassel looks great. When they're behind, and go to a quick offense, he looks like Tom Brady's "Mini-Me". When they slow down and start calling plays and huddling, they stagnate. Here's a clue: take the leash off the kid. Slim down the playbook, give him more shotgun, let him make a few more decisions, and play to his strengths. You know, all that shit Belichick mentioned in that quore from a few weeks ago that was around here. You've got a guy you paid to be the leader, so stop acting like he's Thigpen.

I completely agree. My sense is that until Haley feels confident enough in the defense and confident enough in the offense to consistently extend drives, we won't go no huddle much. The defense is on the field for a long time as it is and we don't have any depth to work with. But I agree, he works much better out of that and it's weird that we haven't tried it earlier in games.

Tell me more about Cathel'th and Haley'th growttth, pleathe

I'm pretty much in agreement with JW on this one. And I will give DJ this, he was in position to make the plays many times. If he finishes the tackles, that was a monster game. He just didn't make them. Mays was out of position several times, therefore he couldn't make the plays. DJ has to overcome 6 years or so of being led by Greg Robinson at Texas and Gun here. That is a lot of bad coaching to erase from the memory bank. We are not going to the playoffs anyway, so why not take a chance?

Mays was in position to make several tackles and whiffed, too.

DJ is a fraud. He has been in Haley's doghouse all year and now we see why. Inconsistent, undisciplined player. One big play a game does not make up for his other shortcomings.
