Another Draft Bust?

Have the Detroit Lions selected yet another recent NFL draft bust? Lions head coach Rod Marinelli said today that rookie second-round pick Jordon Dizon would not be part of a rotation at middle linebacker any longer. Jordon was on the field for 14 plays in the season opener and was supposed to be sharing playing time with current starter Paris Lenon against the Green Bay Packers, for whatever reason that never happened.

Either Dizon is showing he doesn't have the talent to beat out a mediocre linebacker in Paris Lenon or he isn't learning the defense quick enough....OR Marinelli is trying to save his job and would rather player a vet at this point then break in a rookie. Either way this is bad news.
