Johnson Left Early?

I forgot to post this during the game, but towards the end Brayton and Hardy were our starting ends (Hardy got gashed in the run game - has to be RE for now). I recalled seeing Chuck get up after a tackle clutching his left forearm/wrist area but never heard anything afterwards (Commentary was God awful).

Anyone heard anything? Or was I seeing things?

I really don't want him to go down after a stellar first campaign as a starter :(

I met Hardy over the summer at OTAs. He has a high motor, but is a different personality. Slightly strange--a little "unbalanced" if anyone were balanced. Nice guy, quiet. I imagine he is difficult to coach, but if someone could coach him, it is Coach Baker. I think we need to keep our defensive coaching staff if possible. If so, you will see Hardy become a stud, like Mathis at Indy.

Hardy is part of a crap Dline with no definite leader which isn't good and he will need to be coached.

Shut up, if you honestly think that our DLine is completely crap then you are a moron. Johnson has been one of the best 4-3 ends in the NFL, Hardy has played very well in limited time and Brown has actually been moderate at pass rushing. We miss a consistent big body at DT, that is all.

Brayton is a good player to have as an example for younger guys. High motor, never gives up, been considered a 'bust' and bounced back. Not much more you can ask for in a veteran.

No one heard anything about Johnson then? I have had a hunt around, so it might have been my eyes deceiving me.

maybe a bit of hyperbole in the original statement, but the truth is our defensive tackles are terrible 75% of the time, and none of our guys on the line - DT or DE - are really leaders.

as it's been stated before, if you plug in even one DT that can collapse the pocket (two if we're really really lucky) the entire stable of defensive ends will look twice as good.

Hardy just gets overzealous sometimes I think when defending the run. Its no excuse, but that's what happens. Instead of staying outside and flushing the runner back into the LBs, he comes inside, and leaves a poop ton of space to the outside where there is only a Corner who is already locked up by a wideout. I'm sure its simple stuff for Coach Baker, but it's looking like it'll take some time for Hardy to be disciplined.

On a brighter note, how about how well Hardy plays on ST's. First man down the field a LOT of times.

      Go after Shedeur this offseason.

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you probably should've waited after the season is over before "going there," that way we we'd have four more games of comparison and discussion. Don't get me wrong, I occasionally go out on a limb, but Bryce just had his best game and has given people hope (which could realistically be false hope), and Shedeur just doesn't have that many games under his belt (even if he does look promising), one of them being against the Titans. No harm in being patient and letting things play out.  If you noticed, Tepper seems to be taking a wait-and-see attitude, and he didn't mention Bryce in the clip in the other thread. I'm still highly skeptical of Bryce (and glad that Sanders has shown an ounce of success), but the reality is that we have to let things play out. The Sanders train left long ago (if it was even here). But,there are more realistic options if Bryce turns back into a frog.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      imagine thinking that talking about our next opponent is "gassing up" someone.... and then lying about basic info because it's not flattering to the league's worst starting QB since he arrived.  as a starter he is 2-3 (just a fact) as a starter vs Bryce this year pass yards per game - Shough rush yards per game - Shough comp % - Shough  QB rating - Shough yards/per attempt - Shough and Shough is only good for a 2nd year rookie thrust into the gig on a bad team.   He is getting graded on a curve of what he is.  And he won the last head to head vs us, and looked like the best QB on the field that day.   there are a billion red flags when it comes to Bryce Young.  This is just another.

      Imagine gassing up a 2-4 QB for a terrible division rival with stats worse than our QB in every category except raw yards per game
