Who's wearing out their welcome?

I know that doesn't say much, but I would still take him over those 3 who managed to have a roster spot on our team all year. Now if we find a decent one in the offseason AND if one of the younger two beats him out in camp next year, then get rid of him. I just think DT is one of the thinnest positions in the NFL and he has another year at least as one of our 2-3 best DTs before we get better here.

Thank you for pointing out what I have been saying for sometime, TJ is our best DT, and he is playing out of position. He is playing the way the coaches want him to play the position, read then react. He is better at penetration and disrupting the backfield, but our coaching staff wants the DTs to hold their guys and then see where to go. Wrong system for smaller DTs.
