Reminds me of a friend who use to run a very successful business. He had a number of employees who had been with him for many years and were loyal. My friend went to a seminar and "learned", "Don't put up with anything short of top quality. If an employee can't do the job you need, he/she's a liability, replace that employee with one who can." He started with his "worst employee", his manager and found that his "worst employee" wasn't as bad as he had thought. By then, it was too late, morale quickly took a nose dive and within two years, he was bankrupt with many of his "less than top quality employees" finding their way to his major competitor. Back to football... islstl --- Sounds like you agree that while Welter is not the best, all things considered, he's the best we've got right now. I sure don't pretend to know nearly as much about the X's and Os of football as you do and sure do appreciate almost all of your posts, but just don't understand your passionate rage against a Tiger and those second and third in line for his mlb position who are doing the best they can.
I think if we had a better option that person would be out there. I have dogged out Welter in the past but the dude is a Tiger and I'm not gonna do it anymore.
The safety for Wiskey did lead the team in tackles, Caputo with 15, but he was near the line all night, at times, between the line and LB'ers. DJ is the best Chief has, Chief has been doing this too long. He will give up some things for others, always has, always will. He gives up size (Weight) for speed. There is a method to his madness. Its worked well for this long. I've said before, you could fire the guy and he wouldn't make it to his car from the office without a job offer. Many people use to rag on Danny McCray, undrafted out of LSU, he is in his 5th year with the NFL. When the Special Teams coach moved from the Cowboys to the Bears, Danny was the player he wanted with him. I don't know everything, but I know DJ for now, is what Chief wants in that position. You could see DJ moving the younger DL over at times into a gap, on the nose, etc., he's seeing something in the formation that others don't.
Sorry if it bothers you, just easier to type. Oh, I'll spell it out, Whisky, is that better? Are you a fan of Whisky?
