Does Ray Lewis, David Harris, Nick Barnett, Karlos Dansby, etc ever come out of games every 2 downs? I can't think of another 3-4 team that does this to their LBers for nickel packages/pass rush situations versus run stop situations. Usually those ILB are 3-down players.
I think Demorrio Williams hits the nail on his head when discussing a full time linebacker roll. He maybe shitty, but only coming in for half the plays just doesn't cut it. I wish this team could just make up its mind on which guys to play and actually play them/stick with them.

They did exactly that with Williams and Mays last year and they showed little to no improvement.
Now its the next guys turn in line to show what he can do.
I think the staff has made a decision that DJ has done enough to have earned his "run play/1st/2nd downs" and that him playing the nickle role last year effectively added to that means he will be given a chance at being a 3 down backer for us this year.
I just think Williams is mad because that guy isn't him.
