Johnson Left Early?

I forgot to post this during the game, but towards the end Brayton and Hardy were our starting ends (Hardy got gashed in the run game - has to be RE for now). I recalled seeing Chuck get up after a tackle clutching his left forearm/wrist area but never heard anything afterwards (Commentary was God awful).

Anyone heard anything? Or was I seeing things?

I really don't want him to go down after a stellar first campaign as a starter :(

I met Hardy over the summer at OTAs. He has a high motor, but is a different personality. Slightly strange--a little "unbalanced" if anyone were balanced. Nice guy, quiet. I imagine he is difficult to coach, but if someone could coach him, it is Coach Baker. I think we need to keep our defensive coaching staff if possible. If so, you will see Hardy become a stud, like Mathis at Indy.

Hardy is part of a crap Dline with no definite leader which isn't good and he will need to be coached.

Shut up, if you honestly think that our DLine is completely crap then you are a moron. Johnson has been one of the best 4-3 ends in the NFL, Hardy has played very well in limited time and Brown has actually been moderate at pass rushing. We miss a consistent big body at DT, that is all.

Brayton is a good player to have as an example for younger guys. High motor, never gives up, been considered a 'bust' and bounced back. Not much more you can ask for in a veteran.

No one heard anything about Johnson then? I have had a hunt around, so it might have been my eyes deceiving me.

maybe a bit of hyperbole in the original statement, but the truth is our defensive tackles are terrible 75% of the time, and none of our guys on the line - DT or DE - are really leaders.

as it's been stated before, if you plug in even one DT that can collapse the pocket (two if we're really really lucky) the entire stable of defensive ends will look twice as good.

Hardy just gets overzealous sometimes I think when defending the run. Its no excuse, but that's what happens. Instead of staying outside and flushing the runner back into the LBs, he comes inside, and leaves a poop ton of space to the outside where there is only a Corner who is already locked up by a wideout. I'm sure its simple stuff for Coach Baker, but it's looking like it'll take some time for Hardy to be disciplined.

On a brighter note, how about how well Hardy plays on ST's. First man down the field a LOT of times.
