He can occassionally find the football and make a play when unblocked and the play comes directly to him. The pure LB also has no interest in being a leader, or "field general" as that sort of thing is outside the Pure LBs Purview. The only requirement of the Pure LB is that he be athletic; actual playmaking ability, ability to read offenses, and leadership ability should not be considered.

That defines DJ to a T.
Myself I want. A real leader that can think and articulate any changes that need to be made prior to the snap.
Someone that has potential for growth, being a part of the team for a very long time. That is not DJ.
