Derrick Johnson Is Not Derrick Thomas... - Page 15

Tombstone RJ · 08:46 PM

...but I have a feeling King Carl and Gunther took Derrick II to bring back the leadership that Thomas provided the chefs when the chefs actually played defense.

Sorry to bum you all out, but Derrick Johnson is not gonna stop teams from running all over the chef's defense.

The chef's have made some nice moves to improve their defense (hell, any moves at all would be nice) but the chefs still have a mediocre to bad defensive line. Hicks, Simms, Jelly, Browning, Allen & company are not going to stop the run any better than they did last year. Khari Long is a mystery right now, so I won't comment on him.

Bell is a good LB, if he can stay healthy, and that is a big if. So, the chefs will probably start DJ at LOLB, Bell at MLB and Barber at ROLB, which is respectable, IF Bell stays healthy and Johnson makes the transition to the speed and power of the NFL without losing a step. LB depth is a problem with the chefs. Grigsby will help provide depth, but he is an ILB. To me, this says that the chef's are still concerned about Bell's health.

Surtain will certainly improve the chefs secondary, but he is the only change that will immediately make an impact. Hodge will provide depth for the chefs, and that's nice. If Hodge steps in immediately, its more a reflection of how crappy the chefs secondary is, rather than how good Hodge is.

Congrats on taking Derrick the Second. Too bad he's gonna get run over by Mike Anderson.

So yall can comment on this cause you dont know the kind of health condition I have.

If you wanna know, I have the Attention Deficit Disorder, so alot of times it trigures and i'll say things I dont mean.

And Yes I Know I Was Out Of Line.

I don't care what problems you have...you need 2 ass whippings..one for dissing your dad on here and the other for saying you can't stand him.

If you were my son you wouldn't be able to sit down for at least a day..

Sounds like you just have a temper problem, III.

I do, and i'll admit to it.

You're in for a big shock when you move out into the world without Dad's protection.

Wow, well done. I didn't think you were capable of that.

Anyone gone over to the Mane to start a

"Maurice Clarette is no Terrell Davis" thread?

**Saulbadguy** · 04-26-2005, 11:26 AM

I haven't read this entire thread after re-visiting it, but I have some thoughts on DJ that I figure I could put in here rather than starting a new thread.

I'll start with the CON's..

1. He is not a good tackler. If he tries the cutesy stuff he does in college, he will get ran over. He needs to learn to use his body, and not his arms, to tackle.
2. Needs to be more physically imposing. Get in the weight room, get a little bulk on him, and get some strength.

PRO's:
1. Has a nose for the ball. He has great on field awareness.
2. Creates turnovers. He is great at stripping the ball.
3. Is pretty quick...

All in all, I think he will be a great player, he just needs to work on some things. I don't think he will make a huge impact this year..JMO.

I was under the impression DJ was more like a Donnie Edwards, cause I heard one scout say if he grows to full potential he could rival Zach Thomas as the best coverage LB in the NFL.

DJ is not DT, and no one will ever be DT, so this notion is a bit skewed, however I don't believe he will be a huge flop like everyone else is saying.

One of the worst takes in Chiefsplanet history.

Wow! You went back 13 years to find a take as bad as some of yours. And even then it was from a reeruned Donk homer.
