Charles Johnson

[Baschski]

Yep, I'm sold. He hasn't shown much in past seasons but he's been steadily improving this year and looks like he's capable of being a hell of a pass rusher. Hardy is also going to be monstrous--he gets pressure every time he steps on the field.

Also, any person talking crap about any of our rookies should punch them self in the face immediately. Johnson was invisible as a rookie, and look at him now.

the best thing about johnson is that he is only 24 and appears to have alot of prime years ahead of him

the panthers need to resign Johnson. He is clearly the best d lineman they have by far against the run and pass. Really he is the only pass rusher we got. Can Hardy be good, yes and i believe in him but Johnson is all we have right now and he is young. Losing CJ would be a terrible step in the wrong direction

Some people were calling him a bust after his rookie season...

He is without a doubt our best performing player on the entire team. He has only had a couple of sub par games and the rest he has shone time after time. Considering he is playing opposite Brown and Brayton, both of which have seriously struggled this year, he has done well to get any pressure on the QB at all.

Kudos Johnson. As others have pointed out, he deserves to be paid.

Doesn't surprise me, we have a lot of people on this board that know jack about football.

If we had a good DT, I'm convinced a combo of CJ and Hardy would yield us a nasty pass rush.

I remember a few games ago watching CJ tackle the opposing team's RB like 20 yards from the LoS. Insane.

It made me proud when Chris Rose said yesterday that the Browns were actually having to account for CJ in their gameplan because he "gets after the QB."

We need to put Hardy on the other side and I think the sack numbers will shoot up. I think Landri is a good fill-in and provides good pressure consistently up the middle, but we need one HUGE guy to plug in there beside him.

how many does CJ have for the year? i know he had 3 or 4 yesterday
