I’d be ok with this. I mean bringing back the glory days has kinda been our thing this year ( Parker, Zombo, and Sharknado). I think we might even sign Spiller this week and cut him. So why not bring back DJ [Reply]
If you can play Berry for a half after almost 2 seasons of not playing, you can find a way to use DJ. He literally can't be any worse, and he's a general on the field and an inspiration to the players. Get him and Berry out there together, and I bet this defense at the very least improves...which is what you want to see. He won't make them top 10, but we'd get a few more stops and that may very well be enough. [Reply]
Can't be any worse than what we have, and since Bob won't simplify his dumb ass scheme, DJ could at least get players in the right position pre-snap. [Reply]

THIS! Like most here, I think he has a future in coaching. Despite him trying to play for the Raiders, I'll take him back as a coach.
Players always have a hard time knowing when its over. No one has picked up DJ for a reason. Lots of teams need ILB help, not just us. DJ is not even been worked out by teams. He needs to wake up to reality. He has pushed back as long as he can but, no one can stop ageing. [Reply]
