Gun fools around and plays DJ at WLB while that makes sense, if they were going to do that they shouldn't have signed Demo Williams to play SLB. DJ played pretty well at SLB and was at his best as a pass rusher from a 2 point stance rushing RT's.
He played Boone at DE because when he was with the Titans Kevin Carter played DE at 317 lbs and was effective. Too bad they aren't the same player. Like he tried to turn Bell into another Anthony Davis.
He had Williams rushing the passer the first couple of weaks of the season from a stand up spot of the left side while he had a cast covering his whole hand. Later the cast comes off and he doesn't see the field until injuries put him back in and then he never rushed the passer like he did earlier in the season and like he did at Nebraska.
You can't falt him for losing Allen but he really deserves criticism for not playing to the strengths of what he had to work with.
Pretty obvious things were blowing up in his face like coaching LB's as well when they bring in Bunting as a D consultant after only 6 weaks of the season.
