Some people love to see people fail. I love to see people succeed. Hopefully, DJ will get this **** together and solidiy the LBing corps!!!

the problem is it is not his second chance that was after his FIRST DUI when they stripped him of his captain status..

While I do not remember him being involved directly with Darrents death, if that was not a another wake up call not sure what lightning bolt needs to hit him..

then he had the second DUI arrest, the failing of the drug test and then the really stupid posting his play book on line with some kind of commentary about him having to learn a new position again..

Looks to me like he has had more than FIVE we know about wake up calls..

God only knows how many sit downs with Mikey, Josh and now Fox/JDR about his attitude or playing..

Unless he becomes the seconding coming of Dick Butkus over those last 6 games his ass is on the street next year.. I doubt that he has any trade value now that Mc Millian is no longer in the NFL..

SO IF he plays at all this year get your Bromance done..

I like Socal's (I think it was his idea, could have been Rev but he hates DJ) of moving DJ to MLB on 3rd down and confusing O's on whether Miller is blitzing or dropping in coverage.

If Brooking gets hurt I would have them play DJ at Mike and bring Woodyard back in at Will before I ever thought of putting Mays on the field. I think Woodyard is great depth but he should not be a starter.

I don't see how Mays doesn't get cut this year unless he gains 40-50lbs and moves to DT.

There is an argument that he could/should be suspended for life from the NFL for all the above. I think his next **** up he gets a full year.

Considering what a tool he has been since getting the new contract a few years ago .. I just do not understand what people see in the dumb ass..

Williams gets 30 days home arrest but doesn't have to start serving until after the Super Bowl. Judge must be a Broncos fan. Nice!

I wonder if he's working out at Dove Valley. I hope he's trying to get in shape.

He was back at the faculty last week.

Probably not but it's another week of learning the system and another week of getting in shape.

I know "game" shape is a little different then "practice" shape but I don't think it's like it used to be. Players train much now in the offseason and so they're not nearly as out of game shape as players were in the past. Several players that were dinged up on other teams during training camp and preseason came in week 1 and didn't show any signs of being out of shape. When we played the Steelers, Wallace didn't show any signs of being out of shape and that was at a mile high. I don't think DJ will be out of shape. He'll be ready to go when he's allowed to play. I look forward to hearing some articles on how things are going for him during practice, when that happens.

He'll be a good addition because who knows how long Brooking will hold up. DJ comes in fresh playing for his football life. Brooking goes back to role plarer or takes over Woodyard's position. WIN WIN.

Keep Woodyard on the field he is having a great season.

[SportinOne]

Woodyard is playing well, and we've had flashes from some of the younger guys, but it's VERY obvious that Joe Mays is NOT a good MLB. Yes, when he is in position to make a hit there are very few players who hit as hard as he does. But he's one dimensional in that way, and i'm sure most people here understand that. Then you have Brooking. I honestly think even at his age he's a step up from Mays. Like it has been said, Brooking is not going to be able to do it all season. Enter DJ. I don't understand why people think he can't come in and contribute. Granted, he's never been the superstar we hoped he would be but as a MLB he was LIGHT YEARS ahead of Joe Mays. Energy, experience, athleticism, hard hitter, put him in! His problems have been off the field, not on the field, and not in the locker room. Put. Him. In. ...when he's eligible.

Exactly, He has stayed out of trouble during his suspension and face it that is the tough part when you have all that free time on your hands. Bring him in give him a nice prolonged hug of reassurance and let him play this season out.

you let Brooking play till he can't play any more..

DJ playing for his football life?

Shirley you jest.. he is playing for the almighty dinaro.. plain and simple.. HE knows he will not be on this team next year.. Fox knows, John E knows, Pat B knows..

I know some of you have a wooody for this moron but he is not that special, and when you add in the money he is making he is even less so..

better than moron would have..

not to mention he had a better year last year than moron had in 6 less games starting..

Unless Woody goes down with an injury Dumb Ass Williams should be either traded or kept on a shelf until that happens..

Once again I will say it.. dumb ass was used as a Mike for a year and then moved AGAIN after that experiment went belly up..

The guy is dumber than a rock, when asked to relay defensive calls into the front 7 each play he was unable to do even that minor thing, he did not have a clue about changing said call if the Offense was not lined up the way they thought they would..

One of the other LBs had to make the calls mid way through the season

Brooking as long as he can go is the natural player there with load s of experience and Hey FOLKS he knows the Play book and has been running it very well while on the field much better than anyone else..

And lets not mention that dj is most likely a few weeks away from being in game shape.. lots of potential of hammy issues being out of shape..

Bronco D.J. Williams to serve 30 days in-home detention — but after Super Bowl


A Denver County Court judge on Wednesday sentenced Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams to 30 days of in-home detention for his most recent driving while ability impaired conviction, but delayed the penalty's start date until Feb. 7 — just after the Super Bowl.

Prosecutors sought a month in jail, saying it was Williams' second ability-impaired driving conviction in just more than five years. He also faces two years of mandatory probation.

But Williams' attorney Harvey Steinberg noted the football player already has faced stiff penalties from his employer as a result of his conviction: A three-game suspension that has cost him "millions."

Judge Brian Campbell said the NFL-imposed punishment and alcohol abuse treatment weighed heavily with him.

Campbell delayed the imposition of Williams' detention after Steinberg told the court that the Bronco would not be allowed to play in home games with the ankle bracelet required to monitor his whereabouts.

"Any time you make mistakes, he's paying his dues right now, literally," Broncos coach John Fox said. "So it's a process. He's done what he's supposed to through the process and we'll honor what they decide.
