span class=boldCharles Johnson /spancouldn't possibly be as big-time as the guy he's replacing, so he tried to get smaller to be the best he could be.p/Johnson, the fourth-year Carolina Panthers defensive end, said he lost about 20 pounds this offseason to get to his current 279, in hopes of improving his pass-rush.

He said last year he played at around 290 so really he is down about 11 pounds from his playing weight last year which isn't that big of a deal. By his own admission he blew up to around 300 lbs eating with Kemo in Hawaii. He is just getting down to a good playing weight. Even with training camp in full gear it seems writers are really stretching to find stories.

As long as losing weight = sacks then I'm happy

Only if the sacks are accompanied by being good against the run as well. We have plenty of guy who are light and fast. What we need are all around good DEs who are stout against the run and still can pressure the quarterback.

290 to 279 I think is a big deal for a DE.Johnson says he feels quicker

look of E.Brown he put on weight I definitely think that will help him.

      Irony yes you could say that as long as there is no intent to claim that because he left we all of a sudden got so bad we are losing all the time. Which it seems like you might be trying to imply.  Did we lose something? Yes we did. Was it worth 5 years at 28 mil per? Not to my thinking.

      First: What do you think the word ‘scapegoating’ means? Because what I said was not scapegoating.  They are two different players playing two different roles.  I simply said two things about Burns, if I recall. One, basically he is a one dimensional player that is doing well because they have a very strong front in NY.  Two, I was against paying his price because he is a liability against the run. One dimensional and therefore not worth it.  Summing it up: he e is a pass rush specialist, about all I have ever felt about him, and his financial demands made him much less of a value.  IMO.
