Is it time to start worrying about Charles Johnson?

I usually never make threads around here and I hate to make threads like this because I don't want to seem like I am overreacting but third game in a row and Charles Johnson is invisible.  I had no issue with it the first two weeks because while he wasn't doing anything positive, he wasn't a detriment either.  However, tonight, I think he is quite clearly behind the rest of our DL (Short, Lotulelei, Edwards, Addison).

 

When Pittsburgh was pushed back, Johnson failed to remain discipline and tried to execute a pass rush hoping for them to pass and possibly get a safety, giving Gilbert an easy job of shielding him away while Pittsburgh dialed up a run play to catch him off guard.  Aside from that, Johnson literally makes no impact in the run game like he had in the past (most noticeably 2010/2011) and his pass rush is just about nonexistent.

 

Is it time to start worrying about his lack of production and performance?  I have always been a big fan of his and never understood why so many people on here thought he wasn't worth the contract when he was the only quality DL we had until Hardy broke out and we ended up with Edwards, Star, and KK.  But so far, Johnson looks bad.  I don't think it is a stretch to say he has been, clearly, the worst player in the front seven so far.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
