DJ cant take on and shed blockers, he is decent in coverage and is very fast, but to play on first and second down as a inside backer in a 3-4 defense, you have to be able to get off blocks and make plays against the run.

If we had Ngata at nose tackle, he might be an effective starter, with Tank Tyler as the nose, he is a target.

He needs to get healthy and show he is gonna work hard enough to earn not only earn a starting job, but that his work ethic shows he is worth investing a new contract and a few more years on the field in red, otherwise we are best off spending that developmental playing time on a player that deserves it and gives us consistancy.

Somewhat accurate. You have one ILB who is more of a run-stuffer, and another who tends to be more of your coverage guy. It just so happens that he and Demorrio Williams are essentially fighting to play the same position.
