I disagree.
On this team, lacking talent on the line, he's incapable of being the kind of player he could be if he had players in front of him that kept blockers off him.
Even if he were better at shedding blocks, he would still have to shed those blocks in order to get into position to make a tackle, and we'd be bitching that he wasn't making tackles until ballcarriers had gained 5 or 6 yards.
Kawika Mitchell didn't magically get better through coaching with the Giants.
He appeared to get better because he had better players in front of him.
If DJ played for a team like the Bucs of a few years ago, he'd look like Derek Brooks.
