It's production that counts and with Belcher's makeup, if he can get to 80% of what DJ is physically, he could be just as good a player. If DJ would play with 80% the ferocity or intensity that Belcher plays with, he'd be a perennial All-Pro.

DJ is a much more explosive, dynamic, playmaker of a linebacker. However, he doesn't bring that hard-nosed tenacity you'd like to see from an ILB and he doesn't like to go into tight spaces and get nasty. In that sense, Belcher compliments him perfectly.

They're much different players who serve significantly different roles. All things considered, there's no reason Belcher can't be just as good at his job as Johnson is at his.
getting a NT is way more important than finding a replacement for Belcher...i thought the guy played well and hit like a mother %$#!@ regardless of his weight...i expect him to be even better next year...
