Just finished watching the replay. Biggest thing that stood out to me was how HORRIBLE he played. Numerous missed tackles, bad coverage, and getting burned.
Maybe thats why he lost his starting job.

DJ is gone after this year. I was the BIGGEST dj fan when we drafted him, but the guy just never put it together on the field.
Sucks.
I dont think he has played all that great this year. I have probley been one of the least vocal on the DJ thing. But he didnt play horrible. He made a big play when he made that sack in the grasp of a blocker. But I dont think he has played well enough that you have to play him. Hes been some good some bad. But you can say that about a number of chiefs players this season.
The thing about DJ, espiacially this season, is that he is inconsistent.
Sometimes he makes a HUGE play just like he did Sunday, and in some previous games.
Then he makes a dumbass mistake where he complete screws up a coverage, and prevents his own teammate from saving his ***. (Also this Sunday, where he was supposed to cover their RB)
Finally there are plays where he is just gone.. Isn't even near the ball or just in a wrong position.
I would be very surprised if he got a new contract..
It's too bad, because for the last couple of years, he has looked like a guy just ready to break out and be a star!
:(
ummm....aren't we supposed to bashing Haley for not starting DJ. Or was that just for the first half of the season?
I think we'll find out what's going to happen with DJ when they do it.
In the mean time, if he can continue to make plays like the one where he went over the top to make the sack and tackle the guy blocking him at the same time, I want to keep seeing him out there. I don't care if the sack got called back, it was still a great, exciting play- and not all of those will get called back.
He made 1 great play and I saw him make about 7 or 8 bad ones. I'd rather have him on the bench.Quote:

If it makes sense to cut him by the end of the season, I'm sure they'll do it.
I'm just not quite done, either. DJ's great play in the 4th quarter was called off on account of a penalty for illegal contact away from the play, so you know what? It *was* a great play by DJ- just a bonehead mistake by another guy.
Myabe the last name Johnson is cursed in Arrowhead!
Good point...

My point was there was a reason he lost his starting job. His performance against the Steelers was probably a reflection to why, other guys are simply playing much better than him.Quote:

Yeah we need to at least give him until the end of the year. If he's truly not picking up the scheme and is too much of a liability, I'm sure they will cut ties.
I hope he comes around though. The guy is a great raw talent and has the capability to be a great player.
This team is still meshing together. I am taking a neutral stance on this. He has a new system in the 3-4 so take that into account. and every one makes bad plays. How about Belcher air balling the sack on ben then they get the first down. I mean how do you miss roethlisberger... He wasn't even coming off a block?!?
