maybe Belcher will learn and develop like DJ did ... but not so far.

DJ and Belchers jobs are completely different.

Notice how Belcher is cheating to one side or the other presnap? That's because he watches enough film and is coached well enough to identify keys presnap that allow him to cheat to either side to gain a step in his responsibility...which is to identify the lead blocker and blow him up allowing DJ to make the tackle.

The fact that's his job and DJ was our leading tackler and Belcher was our second is a testament to how well the two work together.

Good post. Also, Belcher is a "strongside" backer whereas DJ is a "weakside" backer. When the TE motions to the other side, watch DJ & Belcher flip with the offense. The TE is an extra blocker Belcher must handle in the run game as compared to DJ's assignments.
