^^ This.

Everyone complaining that DT needed a chance on the field - he had a chance everyday in practice but clearly wasn't showing enough, either in his route running or his practice habits to let his QB's trust him in a game. Someone pointed to his game in New Orleans. Okay - where is the week in, week out performance to back that up? He's been on the field. He's had opportunities. Like Lloyd, Jacobs, Gardner, Westbrook and others before him - he just don't got it. -- Like them, he looks good on paper, can have a good game when all the stars align, but is not someone who makes coaches play him.

If we get a 6th rounder for him, I would be amazed.
