He couldn't run the Spider 2 Y Banana

He would be our best tackler by a long shot. He also knows how to blitz.

I mean, they're right.

His legs ARE gone.

But at the very least he'll know where to stand. The linebackers complete inability to be assignment sound is leading to coverage breakdowns across the board. If he's at least near where he's supposed to be, that's an improvement from guys running more quickly to the wrong spot on the field...

Ragland has been AIDS outside of one play this year, but I just can't see them getting rid of him right now. I don't know what is wrong with him, but I can't see him being cut yet.

We resigned Parker.

We resigned Zombo.

We resigned Allen.

How does this not happen? Our defense can be AIDS but if it's DJ AIDS at least we can all nod and say, "Well, love that guy anyway."

Yeah, that's how I feel. He's a great dude.

Pretty damn sad state of affairs that has us re-signing guys that we knew had no tread left on the tires just because we couldn't find basic replacement level play in their stead.

If they resigned ****ing Zombo they can damn well ****ing resign DJ.

Just put him in the goddamn red zone D for all I care, that alone might be worth 4 points a game.

He's also great at stopping forward progress on QB's

Whatever it takes to get this defense closer to average.

The big takeaway is that us having to re-sign all of these guys tells you all you ever needed to know about Bob Sutton.

They HAVE to upgrade at DC.

Can they at least have "DJ's tackling camp" where they bring the guys in and learn how to hit and finish a guy off?

NTTAWWT

is gruden working with andy to dismantle the raiders and help the chiefs ROFL

I love DJ as much as the next Chiefs fan, but do you really want him teaching everyone how to dive at dudes with a shoulder?

Have we signed him yet? I want to see him starting this next game.

Signing is contingent on him taking a big dump and clogging the toilet before leaving Raiders practice facility.

He'd better be on the field Sunday night.

Bring him back. Cut some scrub. You can't do any worse and DJ should never have been a ****ing Raider. Bring him back, get a group hug, play him this year and make him a coach next year.

I was going to buy his jersey until he became a stinkin' Raider. If he comes back, all is forgiven. Yes I know, thinking with my heart. I love that guy...

I'd also say he needs to grab a playbook, but it's nothing you can't pull off of Madden '95

Post of the day!ROFL:clap:

First Parker then zombo and now dj. This says more about Veach then anything. He has done such a bad job in the off season that bringing these guys back is an upgrade. This defense is such a disaster that the chiefs are trying to get it back to the 2017 version.

Sutton is the one who isn't using the talent right. Speaks, Nnadi, Watts, and Lucas have all shown at least something in these first 6 games, and Fuller and Hitchens have both taken tremendous steps back in this scheme.

Have we signed this widely beloved piece of shit yet????

Reggie is laughing at DJ?

At least you know he'd give you his all

Good God folks DJ proved to everyone he was done last year but John Gruden. Honestly 5 games in even Gruden saw the light. Let DJ enjoy his retirement then put him on the ring and remove that debacle Gary Spani.

Thumbing, down...

Huh huh huh huh hoo hoo...

Hey, he's the one that went to Oakland to play another year. Turns out Ragland might possibly be the worst starting ILB in the league and Johnson at least knows what the **** is expected of him in this scheme.

Reggie is probably laughing at one (or both) of two things:

1. The Raiders releasing his buddy
2. DJ got him on the horn and was like "see you tomorrow"

I hope DJ didn't ask for the release (retire)

I do agree. Although the only player of those three i have seen be consistent enough to really believe in is nnadi. I still think that there has to be some linebacker help hidden in a practice squad somewhere. Dorsey really did that well. We could use some of that right now

Nobody knows, why do fans always think the worst.

Did Nelson say **** Chief fans?!!?!?!?!?!?

We win it all with last year's subpar defense.

Maybe he didn't want to spend his swan song year on a tanking team.

Oh, get absolutely ****ed. This defense is terrible right ****ing now. Don't worry about a couple of years down the line when a Super Bowl run is staring you right in the ****ing face.

Remember when we didn't trade for Tony Gonzalez?

very sweet

I dont think he had a choice. The Chiefs didn't want him back, they wanted to get younger. The problem is they got younger, worse and more expensive. So it kinda backfired lol

I'm just ignorant on the emogee thingies. I'm old.

Adding a brokedick like DJ isn’t going to help this defense for a Super Bowl run.

That pissed my shit clean off!!!

Yes it does. Would you rather eat an extremely overdone steak thats going to be tough as hell and taste like ash or a flaming pile of AIDS infested shit? That's the difference between Johnson and Ragland.

Mmmkay. Which one is which?

i approve this msg

Can't even believe this is a discussion.

Because Chuefs...

If he can help stop a few 3rd downs, it would be worth it. its all the offense needs.

Sign his ass VEACH!!!!

Did Gruden release him just so he could return to KC?

What a sweetheart!

They're going to re-sign Zombo and DJ and call it good.

Never mind the gaping freaking hole at safety. :shake:

Get it done Veach. DJ cannot possibly be worse than what we have been watching this season.

Eric Berry will emerge from the Lazarus Pit any day now.

Yes he can't keep up with RBs any better than the guys on the roster but what he does have is basic fundamental knowledge of the system... and heart.

Dude **** it just get him here at vet minimum for nostalgia.

The D might play harder for that alone.

Plus Dirty Dan will be back in 2 weeks and he’s already on the payroll.

Negative. He's an upgrade to the weakest link on a strong team. He's exactly what will put this team over the top.

Why did you miss his usual disappearing act in playoff games?

We should see what Tamba Hali is up to, too. I know he can at least tackle the QB.

He'd be every OTs worst nightmare for 15 snaps a game.

We're getting the gang back together!!!

Forget coverage

If he can at least tackle a running back within 5 yards of the los it's a HUGE upgrade.

Build a fire. We need smoke signals.

FAX

And I'll have a HUGE boner, proportionally speaking!!!!

Now let's trade for Bethea.

Can probably get him for table scraps

At the very least, fire Deleone and hire DJ immediately as the new LB coach.

Link?

...that Mariota hit though!

Well, there are 2 things that DJ does better than any LB on this team, and that's Flow to the runner instead of offensive linemen, and get low on short yardage plays.

Dan Saleamua is available too...

And tackle. The most important thing of playing linebacker and KC can’t do it. Smh

I'd like to say that last year's DJ would be a significant upgrade over Ragland. There's really no question about it, in my mind.

FAX

How bad is this defense that people are clamoring for them to sign Derrick "Methuselah" Johnson?

:shake:

I have a question ... two, actually ...

How many guys can you have on PUP?

Also, is there a Mentally Unable to Play category?

FAX

Walker be dammed, instant upgrade

Bad enough, I'm afraid.

FAX

If there were a MUP list, we have about 10 guys eligible already.

REALLY ****ing bad!
