o well. I don't think Johnson is as bad as people make him out to be. He was a great LB at Cincy, but has been on the bench now because of our great lb core. Maybe he just needs to get a few games back in him.

landon johnson is an injury waiting to happen. he was one of the biggest wastes of money (on defense) that we have ever had.

dan conner can't play OLB

lol

I don't think they'll try him at OLB, he's Beason's backup and probably doesn't know the position. He also may not have the straight-line speed they want at the Will, but he has the quickness and smarts to be effective if he learns the position.

Curious to know why you say he can't play OLB. What are you basing that on? Given that he was the OLB for his first three years at Penn St., and he moved to MLB his senior year only because Poz was gone and he was the best LB on the roster, it seems like he could play there at this level. Is it all about straight-line speed?

if he's fast enough to play OLB in the big ten, that means he's roughly as fast as an nfl punter

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
