Chiefs Teicher: Johnson gets start at linebacker for Chiefs - Page 2

I'm glad Weis and Crennel came in and pulled Haleys head out of his ass.

"I haven’t been that way all the time before mainly because I haven’t been healthy. That’s my reason. I’ve been healthy now. I’m better than I’ve ever been, way ahead. No nicks, no dings. I’ve been taking care of my body. I’ve had none of those injuries where I’ve had to compensate and something else breaks down.”

This is what discourages me. He finally wins his job back, at least for now, and he makes health an excuse for his poor play the last 5 freaking years.

Good Lord just shut up and play.

Williams had a disappointing campaign in 2009, for sure. DJ didn't have a "stellar" year, but he made some really big plays when he was in. And those games were for real, not pre-season. Add to that the fact that this year Crennel is here, and I'm basically trusting that these guys know what they are doing. If DJ is the starter, it's because he's shown them something that Williams hasn't.

But it's not like Williams won't get some playing time, in fact I'm sure he'll get a bunch.

I don't think it really matters who the starters are.

I think the Chiefs are going to rotate some of their starters with the guys on the depth charts. don't be surprised to see D Wiliams or Stude in there on some downs. I see some of these guys playing 2 downs.

As much as I want DJ to succeed, I'm not sure I saw him win the starting job in preseason. Granted, I don't see them every day in practice, and can only speculate on assignments when they are on the field.

The thing that stands out to me is Williams' reaction to sliding down the depth chart (coming out like a man possessed) compared to the way DJ reacted to it last year (fetal position).

Ultimately, I'm not concerned about the "starter" label here anymore than I am with Jones and Charles, but I do want the best guy to be on the field.

Six of one, half dozen of the other. NEITHER DJ nor Williams is good enough. This is like watching a pissing match between Cinderella's two step sisters. Who gives a damn? The Chiefs are running a defense predicated on having four good linebackers, and how many do we have? We average at best...that's it.
