Sounds kinda like what everyone says about TJ now. And like Painkiller said, no one has patience. DL takes time for almost every player, add in bad coaching for two years, playing out of position for 5, and manner is which he was aquired and forget it. TJ might as well go play for the arena league as far as most people are concerned.
I like TJ, he has become an average player with good motor, even playing out of position. He is no more true NT than I am. He has come out of his shell, and he shows spirit now that he didnt have before. Is he a draft bust, maybe but he cant help that anymore than Brady can help going in the 7th. Is he a bust as an NFL player, not to me.
If Okam can run his big butt on the field and take double teams all day keeping a blocker off the LB's to make plays at or behind the line then I could care less if his carrer tackle total is 0.
