On what do you base that claim? DJ has never amounted to shit here. Sure he's fast, but he's constantly out of position or running past plays. Comparing DJ to Flowers is an insult to Flowers! That kid can play. DJ, not so much. Now, is DJ better than Demario Williams? Maybe. Obviously he is doing something wrong or is injured (again) because he sure as hell isn't seeing the playing field. I think people are screaming for DJ because they are desperate for something, ANYTHING to spark this team. I'm sorry, but DJ is not it. He is no panacea... he is a bust.

Like I said, he may be better than Williams... I tend to think so, but the coaching staff must not agree; or DJ is injured again.

You mean the game wher eour defense gave up 500+ yards?
Wow, we were so much better with DJ starting!!!!11!eleven Again, grasping at anything. DJ won't fix this shit. Hell, I'd be surprised if the D showed any improvement at all with him in there. My bet is he would play, the D would suck, and it would take people a while to realize he did indeed play, but didn't do shit... as usual.

Yeah...you could look at this list and it looks daunting, but I don't think it's this bleak. Sure most of those latter category players stink...but trying to replace every damn position that's weak is a back-assward way of approaching this.
All you have to do is find 1-2 major play-makers on each side of the ball at ANY position and it will elevate the play of even some of our scrubs. Case in point--Bryan effing Waters. He's our "best lineman". I think he's grossly overrated. He made a living being a great left guard mostly while playing beside Roaf w/ Shields on the other side. GREAT players elevate the whole team. We need to focus on finding play-makers on both sides of the ball instead of just "plugging holes" all the holes.

As bad as things are, Chiefs still should have at least two wins (2-3).
As mentioned on another thread, might as well beging to evaluate the bench players who have potential, like Charles. This kid is so explosive, how can he not get more touches? |

It won't matter who are our linebackers are, because the Chiefs lack a true NT that can command the double team.
The Chiefs also need to find some pass-rushers in a bad way, because in only 5 games, they have 6 sacks as a team.

Someone should get him to call Tiki Barber and have Tiki show him how to hold the ball when carrying it. It's easy, and it worked for Tiki. |

Look we have so many holes that if we must become more active in free agency if we are going to turn this team around. We need to draft and develop our offensive line. In terms of TE, RB, and WRs, we should go the FA route for now. On Defense we have many more pieces in place. But we still need a dominate playmaker on that side of the ball. If I were Pioli my draft board would look like this. RD 1 - Playmaker, if Mays is there I take the kid and build a dominate defense. We simply can not afford to use our top pick on a RT, LB, or WR. RD 2 - Oline RD 2 - Oline RD 3 - Playmaker, either side of the ball. Give me a WR, RB, LB, whatever. We need three starters out of the next draft and two of those guys need to be linemen. I think the biggest need on this team in OC. With our two 2nd round picks we need to look there. We can plug and play at guard, but having a swinging gate at RT and having a Center who cannot control the LOS kills this team. |

Well, a couple things:
1) I think you need a 5th bucket for "Playmakers" to go along with what someone said about Haynesworth-type guys elevating the rest of the group. If we had an Ed Reed in our secondary, our CB's wouldn't have lost that game yesterday. Instead, they can continue to go for the picks (which is essential right now) and not worry about their backup. A Marion Barber-type back would make that OL look a little less putrid, etc. Speaking of RB's: I'd like to see what we have in Savage and Charles the rest of this season. Make LJ play special teams, waterboy or jock washer. 2) As I watched the game yesterday, I thought our defense looked really good in the 1st half. I was wondering how many of these guys are getting valuable playing experience vs. being cut next year. I think your time-frame is based on the draft alone. Mixing in FA's, the time can be cut in half.

Who says I'm fascinated? My post is an indictment on the talent level available on defense. I've never been a huge DJ fan. I have high hopes - even still but he's clearly been a major disappointment. I still think he should be on the field.

I've always appreciated your insight on football even though we disagree. Would you spend money on a guy like Julius Peppers? Honestly I don't think the defense will be fixed until Pendgerast is fired. In the last 4 close games of his career his defense has blown each of them. The Chiefs should hire a guy like Wade Phillips. |

He definitely has the athleticism to play standing up, but I worry about how coachable and how motivated he would be coming off of a big payday. Look at his stats over the last 5 years. There's a lot of shit sandwiched around one good year. If we want to fix the ILB, I would take a long hard look at Thomas Davis. He's an excellent cover backer, and he can make plays in the backfield and passing game. I don't know if they are coming free, but DeMeco Ryans, Lofa Tatupu are other option, if they haven't reupped.
