Did anyone see Charles Johnson yesterday?

[cgarsmoker]

rewatch the game, especially in the second half

he is so quick off the snap it's scary

He is big and scary.....so scary in fact - the boogie man checks his closet every night to see if Charles Johnson is in there. :sifone:

Brayton is 3 inches from being a pro-bowler.

He misses a sack a game by the tips of his fingers.

I like Brayton, but he keeps blowing containment on outside running plays. The Bucs and the Bills both ran right by him for big plays after he crashed inside for some reason.

Anyway, I agree that CJ was pretty darn good yesterday. Except for Brayton blowing his containment on a few plays, I can't complain about any of them.

I've been saying that I don't know why he isn't starting over Brayton... He is a very stout guy, and he's got a lot more speed than Brayton, so I don't know why he isn't in there more often. And the guy makes plays.

I had pointed out a couple weeks ago too, I think after the 'Skins game that we kept lining Brayton and Johnson up inside at DT as well.

I liked Tyler's play yesterday as well.

[Gman was right]

Had the best game I can remember. He seems to finally justifying the 3rd pick and confidence that the team has had in him for 3 years. Frankly it is about time as well.

I thought he justified it last year.

I have been saying for awhile that CJ is the most complete DE on the roster (now I think Pep has regained that title but he is a close 2nd). I loved our Tyler trade and the one before it for Leonard. I think our FO had neglected the Dline for years but they may have finally redeemed themselves. Our Good Dline has finally returned and oh how I've missed it.

I believe if CJ keeps on having a big heart and plays well. He can be the next mike rucker of this team for years to come. He showed some of that in the game sunday. CJ can be great if he works hard and keeps doing what he is doing.

If and when Fox is fired, could Meeks be promoted please?

No offense, but that a terrible idea. Why should we promoted a DC in his first season with a new team as the head coach the year after his first season? That is not a smart business there. Beside, our defense is starting to click with Meeks's plan along with Peppers loving his plan lately, that we should not ruin it with making Meeks our new head coach a year after his first season here. If we get rid of Fox, let get a guy who isn't on the team & keep Meeks as our DC.

And it's scary indeed that Johnson is quick based on how heavy he is for a DE that look more like a DT. :party:

we have cj through 2010

IIRC That means he'll be a RFA instead of a UFA bc of his time in the league

Fwiw, 2-3 years is about normal developement time for a defensive end.

nah

7/13/2007: Signed a four-year, $2.375 million contract. The deal included a $710,000 signing bonus and contains a final-year escalator that could up Johnson's 2010 salary to $1.1 million. 2009: $460,000, 2010: $550,000, 2011: Free Agent

if he was going to be an UFA, he'd instead be a RFA without a CBA

I'm probably one of the 14 people on earth who have one but I sported my Charles Johnson jersey proudly today.
