WTF

I always liked DK, despite some of his maturity issues impact seasons.

Rams gave up on his too early, which surprised me when it happened.

Like I mentioned in another post earlier. He's been balling out since he was picked up off the wire..seems like he's had a wakeup call within himself..and someone else's Defensive coaches were able to do a much better job working with him than our coaching staff.

A good part of this has to be defensive philosophy and how to use his skills in the proper fashion.

Exactly!..he's a pretty slow dude..and they have him working in the slot now up in Seattle and it seems to fit him better where he doesn't need 4.3 speed to cover faster WR. In other words good coaching..use a player where his traits are stronger.

You all were the one’s who couldn’t wait to get rid of him. Armchair………..

Wish that existed here.

I think that they might have kept him had it not been for that weird offsides in the last preseason game, which seemed like an indicator of boneheaded moves to come. That said, he may have never been put in the optimal position as a Ram anyway. It’s a long season. Let’s see how it plays out.

He is a bonehead player who plays too much with his emotions. No love loss.

Oh gosh... so he got a fire lit under him and started to play football? Or maybe it was Morris and Shula that didnt help him... whatever the reason, this guy was constantly letting us down.

This is like an X, that we gave multiple chances too... and she kept going back to her old ways, so finally we cut the arm off... so, she went into therapy and also got a boob job and other work done... and now, she looks good... BUT, only on the outside.

Come on guys, we know better. Let's not get fooled. Good for this guy and going somewhere, where he plays better... wish him all the best... but after how many chances w the Rams did we give him?

Thanks for shoppin

He sucked when he played for us. I don't know whether it was the coaching, he was playing the wrong position or he just needed a change of scenery. Good on him. But i'll be the first to say it. I'm not unhappy that he is gone. I'd say the same for Reeder.

Like I said maybe our staff of coaches could have done a better job with him..not only by seeing his strengths and his weaknesses..but helping him mature and grow and gain some life experiences. He's way too slow to be a pure CB! he can't come close to guarding truly fast WRs..not with his piss poor 40 time!..that's one of the reasons he was always getting burned and picking up PI calls in the backfield because he was late getting there he couldn't keep up.. but up in Seattle maybe they figured if we play him in the slot it might be a better fit. Like I mentioned he might even have earned the starters job..when Witherspoon comes back we'll find out if they move him back to CB guarding fast WRs and that's where he was really struggling as a Ram. The guy was a total dipshit and a shitty CB playing for us and probably needed to go after his gun stunt or?.. you know what? I was a dipshit too at his age.. Bottom line is I wish we could have found a better fit and developed his talents. Good for him that he is playing better maybe had a serious look in the mirror. It took me 27 years to pull my head out of my ass. Hell some people on here still think its in there now. We will get 2 chances to see him play so probably by then things will have straightened out with him good or bad..is he really playing great ball or is he the same ol' DK that we all love and remember?
