Bench DJ

[flippy]

Just saw him saying he was blocking on the play he was just standing there.

Im now convinced he definitely runs the wrong routes when Kenny and him are not on the same page because he is also a liar.

Although he might believe what he is saying???

Heard this on the radio, looks worse. What was his plan here? Is just afraid of contact?

Dude is beyond weird, it you ask me. I can't believe his effort before and after on the play Warren fumbled. Dude never left the LOS or attempted to block.

He watched as the Bengal retrieved the fumble and raced towards his goal.

We are probably hand-cuffed with him this season, but it wouldn't surprise me if khan moved him before draft day.

A Tomlinism: "I will tolerate you until I can replace you."

I understand a WR and DB agreeing to take a play off when it's an inside run for a first down. Probable happens a lot more than we notice because we are looking at the RB to se if they got it.

but when a ball is rolling and no whistle has been blown at least fake like you care.

all that being said, why lie about "blocking" when you were bull****ing? Just say you thought he was down but saying you were blocking when you didn't do a damn thing makes me believe you have lied about everything that didn't go your way.

5 yards back and then gain 3 yards?

no idea what his plan was here besides running from a defender. He is a fraud who is stealing money.

At the very least DJ should not dress for next game. It's inexcusable to outright not put forth an effort. If Tomlin decides to play DJ in the next game Rooney should get security to escort Tomlin and DJ out of the stadium at half time. You're fired GTFO!

Why don't they just put in Allen Robinson then? We all see these things so they have to see them. It's time to have a reliable WR in there full time. At this point, it's the coach's fault to keep messing with a guy who's this off center.

If he was, that guy wouldnt have recovered the ball

you know, I didn't even realize the guy he "blocked" recovered the fumble. Makes it so much worse.

agree 100%?
If Tomlin does nothing this just confirms even more about how bad of a coach he is..

To me, this is the issue. I used to have a sign in my classroom that that said "That which you don't stop, you allow."

Time to move on from more than just DJ.

Poor Kenny. We stuck him with 2 Diva WRs (at least one of them can catch and run the right direction) and Canada to start his career. And until recently, a poor O-line.

Poor Kenny will be a rich man if he targets Pickens more than DJ.

but you are correct, it wasn’t like Kenny came to a well oiled machine and he was the last piece of the puzzle. Give this man 2 more years with more pieces on offense and I think we are going to see championship level football.

Good lord, no kidding. Imagine if he was a diva QB, he'd be done by now. He's handled it all like a pro.

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

Tomlin has to call him in and sit down with him. This is what Tomlin is supposed to excel at. Then, even if you buy the excuse that he didn't see it and thought the ball was dead...or whatever, he has to sit next game for at least the first half, and he should address the locker room, explain and apologize, tell his teammates that it will never happen again.

And Tomlin should tell Minkah that he should be right there when DJ addresses the team, and as soon as he finishes to go up and give him a bro hug and say something like "that was big of you man, we appreciate that and got your back". Coaches should also design something to get the ball to him early in the second half.

Yeah...Tomlin needs to disipline him in some way, shape or form. Him not going for the ball was just inexcusable in my book.
