So I normally don’t get all amped up over minor roster moves but I’ve been wanting to see Johnson get a shot, especially since the left guard position should be an open competition next year.

Johnson was drafted in the 4th round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Cardinals and only fell outside of the top three rounds because of his liver condition that he’s had since birth (he was cleared).

I’ll note that a lot of offensive lineman have been going to Arizona and floundering because the Cardinals keep trying to force square pegs into round holes. Up until this year the Cardinals had been a ZBS team and just recently switched to a gap scheme.

At Pittsburg all Johnson played in was gap and inside zone (something we do a lot). Johnson isn’t a bad player, in fact HE ONLY ALLOWED TWO SACKS IN HIS THREE YEAR CAREER AT PITTSBURGH.

I hope he gets a shot because his background and experience at Pitt are almost an identical match to what we currently run here in Carolina. I know his Pittsburgh teammate Bisnowaty didn’t work out but I think Johnson has a much better chance to stick due to the fact that he is a good player that was simply stuck in a bad fit.

All eyes will be on Kyle Allen but Dorian Johnson may deserve a look as well.

That would be a nice find---I also wondered how he might do as a center.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
