Is Charles Johnson top 10?

CJ will probably finish the season with at least 10 sacks. He seems to be the only consistent player on the defensive line. He is super strong with good pass rushing skills. He looks a little faster to me this year than in previous seasons as well. Do you think he's a top 10 caliber DE?

So far he has more tackles than some of the more popular DE's in the league. His 8.5 sacks is more than Julius Peppers. However he doesn't have any passes defensed, recorded at least and 1 FF.

We need to get a DT to help him out. I think Hardy will be great next year.

Yeah, I would say that if CJ could get some push in the middle then he would be one of the top DE's in the league. He is not flashy and he doesn't really pass the eye test like Peppers, Williams, Allen and some other DE's do but he is consistent and very fundamentally sound too.

HELL no. You guys are as bad as Fox announcers thinking Godfrey is playing at a Pro Bowl level because of stats. CJ has been one of the few guys on the team like James Anderson that has exceeded expectations, but he's just a guy when it comes to playing the run and gets most of his sacks through pass coverage and easy clean-up duty. Not bashing the guy because he's definitely improved, but we're so starved for quality play that we'll latch on to the tiniest thing.

CJ finally got his shot and has played bananas. He is one of several players we have to lock in to new contracts.

1. Ryan Kalil

2. James Anderson

3. Charles Johnson

King, Marshall, Davis, Moore and yes Dwill are all expendable. I would try and sign and trade Dwill though.

Thank you for bringing reality into this discussion. Anybody that thinks he's top 10 in the league needs their head examined.

It merely appears he's Top 10 given the relative atrocity the rest of the team is. I'm surprised someone hasn't used the same relative comparison to suggest Goodson as a Top 10.

Look, I like CJ at DE. I think he was a good draft pick and I think he'll be very good for years to come, but he's not yet a Top 10. He just looks that good when surrounded by crap.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
