One minute we NEEDED HIM, the next; he sucks. 3 years later and not much progress, slow off the snap . could wait 5 years like other RD1 pick jones and I suppose Hood (4 years? ), which I expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ is also new to the position and still learning. I agree with your general point, and yes, we have no idea how TJ will ultimately turn out....but Ive never been as impressed with Dupree in the NFL as I have been with TJ at times. TJ is still most definitely a work in progress, but he kind of reminds me a bit of how Troy looked his rookie season.....a guy who showed boatloads of promise but needed more time. Not saying TJ will reach the same levels Troy reached, but Im more optimistic about what Ive seen from TJ than Dupree. Dont get me wrong, I did get excited about Dupree from an athleticism standpoint, but much like Jarvis, never showed any real development in regards to pass rush movies, block shedding or instinctual. I pushed for us to draft Lawson even after we drafted Watt in the first round (in large part because I thought TJ was better suited for ILB....but I wouldve still loved to have grabbed Lawson in the 3rd). If we had done that, I think we would be in good shape. Me too about Lawson, and of course Justin Houston a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chieferific Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If you're benching Ben and Bell and feel the #1 Seed is out of reach, you should bench JuJu too. Who knows how healthy AB ends up being and if you lose JuJu and AB isn't ready for the Playoffs you might as well forfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think we see a fair amount of Hunter and Rogers today on the outside. Plenty of Grimble too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rookie should play at least 1 quarter IMO. Just get him some run. Like someone on the OL is going to have to play, we can't bench all 5 of them. Can't bench all 11 on defense. Just can't. Not enough guys. Some have to play. Play the some that have to, play them sparingly. Make it a defensive run the ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
