I have not really dropped my opinion of DJ so much. Today he played quite well, with some really great throws. There were some very key drops by Downs and at the end by Pittman on balls that simply need to be caught. I thought he threw with confidence and he avoided the disastrous strip sacks despite his injured leg. I think when healthy he is fine at the position.
The team however, has really fallen off. There remains a MASSIVE inability to get to the QB. Time and time after time and more time than that, the QB is sitting in a very clean pocket and just waiting for someone to clear- they are consistently getting 2 & 3 reads deep without feeling pressure. Ward, to me, looks washed and with Sauce appearing to be out, this defense is going to be abused in these final few games.
