Chiefs DJ on 810

InChiefsHeaven · 01-18-2019, 09:54 AM

He'll be at the game. 13 years on the team, and I think he's being good about how happy he is for this team...but it's gotta be killing him that he won't be suited up...He said he'll be coaching the defense from his seat, though he's sure it'll be too loud to make a difference.

I really love this guy. I couldn't hear the whole thing as I'm at work, but I admit, I feel kinda bad for DJ. Friggin' warrior for this team, and I hope if we win that they let him down on the field, because he's a true Chief.

Hitchens disappoints sometimes but Ragland is disappointing

If only DJ had Haglunds he would still be one of 53

The whistle has blown, play is dead, forward progress

Bring in for look/kick tires/show kids ropes?

Yeah I feel bad for DJ as well... he just missed out on being a part of the Mahomes era.

Considering some of the shitty QB's he had to play with in KC that is too bad.

Why? You feel bad that Tony G missed out? Priest? Their era was over. So was DJ's. His determination and fire was exactly what this team needs but.......last year you could see him recognize where he needed to be but was just too slow to get there. Time had caught up to him. No one escapes father time. He was on Cowheard talking about still playing. He needs to wake up to the reality his playing days are over.

AND he was offered a job on Reids staff as a coach this year. Thats a big deal. He could have been part of this. He and Reid have confirmed this publicly. Reid has said he has a job on his staff anytime he wants the job. He probably could have made the defense better as a coach.

DJ missed out by one year.

He played his entire career in KC with mostly mediocre QB play and then missed out on playing with Mahomes by one year.

He should be the one banging the drum.

You cant really complain about the owner, the son of who the trophy they are playing for is named after banging the drum.

He could of put the team on his back and willed them to victory. But he didn’t.

Father Time caught up with him.

He was part. If the 32 Defense, actually the leader of the 32 defense. Just not interested in holding on to the past when we have buried the curse of Marty and are starting a new NFL level era of chiefs football.

Thanks for the few memories. But it’s all about the future now.

This for sure - DJ is easily in my Top Ten all time favorite Chiefs. Guy was a class act on and off the field and a great player.

I still really hope he becomes a LB coach for the Chiefs with Eric Berry being a DB coach next year AFTER we win the Super Bowl!

Agree completely. For years it seemed like he, Tamba and Jamaal were the only three guys on the team that played with 100% effort, no matter how bad their record.

We wasted a lot of talent back in the dark ages.

It's still a little puzzling to me that they couldn't have found a way to get him on the 53 man, if only to make him a gameday inactive. I guess it probably has a lot to do with Reid's deferral to Toub on STs matter. If DJ can't play STs, they ain't putting him out there.

Though I still feel like he may have had a drop or two of gas left in the tank. Sure would've been nice to see him around even in a quasi-coaching capacity for this run. But I guess you've gotta draw a line somewhere and how far away from bringing back guys like Tamba Hali would you find yourself at that point.
