DJ

So, what are everyone's feelings about DJ, now that he is done with his rookie year?

Good? Bad? As expected? Happy? Unhappy?

Mr. Laz · 01-01-2006, 06:20 PM

good ... better than expected ... still makes rookie mistakes but still good.

DJ had a very solid rookie season. He has lots of room for improvement, though.

Getting a competent defensive coordinator will be a BIG help.

Dude, we get it. You can stop your over the top mantra. Gunther was the one who made Kawika a player.

And now, back to tpoic...

GC, you are wrong on this one. Gun's speciality IS LINEBACKERS. This year Kawika was the pet project and they seemed to more or less let DJ find his groove... if Gun is around next year, mark my words, DJ will be the pet project and we will see the same results that we saw with Kawika.

Without Gun (I'm a Gun supporter, but I'm more or less indifferent if he comes back) I'm betting we see a serious sophomore slump with DJ.

Gun resigns as DC and becomes our LB coach. We get an up and coming defensive HC. The linebackers perform on epic, Rich Scanlon-like proportions. And glory returns to the Kansas City defense.

Some games you hear his name called, others he's invisible. I think it's a matter of how he's being used. We'll see what next year brings before I can make a true evaluation and start pointing fingers at the player, or, at the coach.

I don't think I've watched a game where he was invisable.

Great Pick, Great Futurem Glad he is a chief

Lots of tackles, few big plays. I would currently classify my opinion as, "glad he's not a bust, but disappointed that he wasn't more of an impact player."

I blame Chiefsplanet for building my hopes to unreasonable levels.

I would agree with this statement since he finished with just over 100 tackles and 2 sacks.

I also would say we need to utilize his speed more. I was looking for more of an "impact" player like Ware in Dallas or Merriman. But then again neither one of those teams are heading to the playoffs either.

i thought he had a good rookie season. i would have thought he would have had more sacks though, or even more plays blow up in the back field. but i also think gun misused him. but also what do i know, i would have thought bell would have been better.

patteeu · 01-01-2006, 09:36 PM

A little disappointed that he didn't come out of the gate like superman, but when I get realistic about it I am pretty happy about what we got out of him in his first year. Looking forward to bigger and better things from him in years to come.
