I really don't get this sentiment. TJ has been consistently solid since Kubiak's little public wake up call. He's not the pass rusher we hoped, but then again we are asking him to play as the 1 technique NT type player....of course that could be because he wasn't getting it done as an under-tackle and the reason we got Okoye.

He's not dominant against the run either, which is why I'm not advocating that he go to the pro-bowl or anything. Outside of Mario he's the best D-lineman we have against the run. I would like to see his spot upgraded, but he's not a bad player.

I saw him go from the opposite hashmark to chase down a screen to get in on a tackle 15 yards down field along the sideline. I've routinely see him chase down plays once they get past the line. 300 lb D-lineman who aren't interested don't do those type of things.
