absence of his father's influence. I know his parents got divorced last year, and that had to take a toll on the young man, especially since it was going on so far away. But I remember in his 1st & 2nd years his dad seemed to be everywhere. Maybe he still is, but I haven't heard anything about him on here or elsewhere. Could it be that his dad was a little over-bearing and DJ has been able to put that to rest? I don't do Twitter or Insta so I have no idea, but just haven't seen any reposts here or elsewhere or heard anything at all about Big Dave this year so far.

I know some of his problems last year were physical, like his knee and weight, and others were to do with the team and inconsistency on the O-Line and youth everywhere else, but I think the psychological/emotional element may have been just as significant.

Just my 2 cents, which are now worth approx 0.75 cents adjusted for inflation. What do I know. I could be totally wrong. My wife reminds me of that frequently.
