Clayton likes DJ - Page 2

redfan · 08-05-2005, 10:32 AM

On ESPN last night.
He said DJ was the new D player in the NFL that caught his eye. Said he should make a big impact, esp is his rookie season.

I bring this up 'cuz Clayton is one of the few media guys I actually trust.
No pressure, DJ!! Just do what you do!!

DJ's speed and coverage ability give Gun the kind of matchup problems Saunders has with Gonzo on offense. He can take away any TE 1vs1 and, if he learns to use his hands well, could cover a lot of WRs. DJ's coverage ability will allow Gun to use more complicated and better disguised coverages. Same with blitz packages.

Fors sure, Clayton and Jaws are the only two people I actually believe. Especially Clayton, as Jaws can sometimes talk out of his ass as well.

If it was only Clayton, I might take it with a grain of salt. But it's everybody up there talking about him. I mean, shit, it's not like the local media are homers that treat the team and their draft picks with kid gloves. I've only been here for, what, 8 years now, so maybe that's not enough experience with the local sports guys, but I've never heard any draft pick talked about with the kind of...awe that they all have in their voices when they talk about DJ.

I can't wait to see it for myself.

I'd rather be a wimp and right all the time, than a bully and wrong all the time.

ahh, but you underestimate the pleasures of being a bully...

I don't know if "televising" is the right word, but I have this weird magic box in my living room that shows moving images and barks out sound.

I must preface this comment with the fact that I have been excited about Clayton and King's endorsement.

When Clayton and King give anti Chief opinions King is a Rams/Donx lover and Clayton is Fraziers brother Niles...what does he know about football...did he ever play? It is good that the Chiefs faithful keep our Red and Gold glasses on and support them when they support us.

I am still amazed that he fell to #15 for us. I kind of remember a Fatlock opinion that because we won all of the meaningless games at the end of the season that we would miss out on an impact player that we need on defense like DJ.

I like the speed comparisons of DJ to DT but DT couldn't cover and am sure there are a lot of areas that DJ won't match up to DT.

This is the most excited I have been in a pick.

My favorite Salisbury moment was his Breakdown segment during the 1997 National Spelling Bee episode of Cheap Seats. "He's like, 'See you bitches later!' Can you spell overconfident?"

The fact that we even ended up with him is pretty awe-inspiring in its own right.

Love Clayton, hate Salisbury. Why don't they just pair John with Mort or Kiper?
