Don't forgot about Scanlon. The greatest linebacker not named Butkus.

There's no prognostication about it. You made a statement of fact. Priest has lost his second level burst. It shows up in spurts, but it's not as consistent as it was pre-hip injury.

To one of the guys credit he did post an appology and ate his crow after the game Holmes closed about a 20 yard gap on that DB that picked off a pass...Can't remember exactly but it seemed like it was a young Jet CB.

I think the "greatest weakness" bit is a little overblown. It wasn't that he had a problem in college, he simply didn't have to shed blocks because he was so athletic that he could simply avoid them altogether, yet somehow that strength in one area translated into a perceived weakness in another. I'd call that poor logic, and I am not going to assume that means he can't or won't do it as a professional, or that if it is a problem, it's an insurmountable one for someone with his natural gifts and work ethic. Either way, we'll see, hopefully. We've had a problem with draft picks being injured for as long as I've followed the team, so the primary thing I'm worried about right now is getting him through camp without a high ankle sprain, a hamstring injury or something more serious.

I remember reading that we don't play weak side/strong side, we play left and right OLB. The LB'ers stay in their position regarless of the TE.

The first time DJ blitzes Denver the only one that will look like he's running just as fast as him will be Plummer.
DJ is the next Scanlon. |

Well it could be argued that we didn't have DT's, CB's or DE's the last couple seasons either.

I would say that's an apologists view. When a guy gets hung up on a block, and can't overcome them when they are laid on him, that's a problem. Teams had to block DJ because he was such a disruptive force on the field. This knock on his game comes from the fact that the way teams would account for him was to put a blocker on him. To take a guy in his rookie year who isn't good at shedding blocks and putting him on the strong side is fool hardy, IMO. Not only will he have a tough time adjusting to the huge speed increase in the game, but he'll also have to adjust for a completely new position. It'll be interesting to see.
