Beaudry Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Originally posted by Die Hard Looks like he doesn't wrap up very well for a linebacker. Uses his shoulder too much. Former Vikings long snapper turned radio personality said other bad things about Johnson. Morris pretty much said Johnson would be a bust. He said Johnson could put an raw egg under his shoulder pad and pull it out as good as new after the game. He said Johnson didn't hit, he was a drag down tackler, he didn't take on blockers, he just dove at linemans legs and tried to disrupt that way.

Usually when your a lineback, and have that ability, you turn out sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fpickering Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Originally posted by illone To me it wouldn't really make sense to draft him as we have decent depth at LB. We don't really need another "Lavar" on this team as last year plenty of 2nd and 3rd stringers got the job done for us. I like the guy and he has been sick to watch for the past couple years terrorize offenses, but I see him going in the top 5 anyways. He really is a legitimate #1 pick in my mind. This guy is a slightly less tougher version of Lavar. He did impress me though. He seemed like a guy with a nose for ball carriers and and looks to be an absolute fantastic playmaker. He is fast too. He should make some team very happy. I have to think that he is higher rated than a lot of guys that have been talked about going in the top 5. That being said, if he were to fall to #9, I agree with you we don't need him so I would pass. He and Alex Barron could wind up being the bait we need to trade down.

illone Posted March 30, 2005 Author Share Posted March 30, 2005 Originally posted by PennState11 Yes Adrian Peterson is defenitly a weak running back. Now THAT guy will be a legitimate #1 pick. He is Jim Brown + Eric Dickerson. Who bumped this thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
