I hope Johnson has kept his speed. Most everyone who recovers from Achilles surgery takes at least a year or more to recover and most never recover their speed.  Look at Beason for example. Then again how good or fast do you have to be in order to be better than who we have out there now? As much as it pains me I would be happy to see Harper back at this point.

They weren't the same injury or surgery

Johnson never ruptured his Achilles. It was only partially torn and he had played through it his entire career. Finally decided to have it fixed this offseason and said he feels better than he ever has.

I'm hearing good things about Johnson. May surprise some folks.

Nickel or outside? McClain can play both as well and has mainly been nickel here so curious how they'll play it out if Bradberry's not back.

This is the most obvious "make up an injury and move a guy to IR" that I have witnessed.

 

Does anyone investigate this stuff?

Only if the player makes a stink about it. Almost never do though. Teddy may get released with an injury settlement and try to catch on with another team this year if he wants to play this year.

He didn't rupture his Achilles. He's been playing with the injury. The Pats released him in February but he didn't miss any time with them. I'd compare it more to Cam's offseason ankle surgery to finally get right than to say Arian Foster who went down last year and missed the rest of the season.

Good to know. That is much better news a better prognosis for once.

Good to hear. We need some positive news about the secondary. How is Bradberry today?

Face it, Shula is going to have to call a career making/breaking game.

that wouldn't be enough.

I mean, Shula can call the perfect play....but if Remmers can't hold up vs an elite front (or either OT) or the WRs struggle to get separation against a decent DB group (and they often struggle vs average groups), etc.....it just looks like a horrible playcall and people say Shula should be fired.

So we need virtually a perfect offensive game.  We need players to play above their standard level

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
