Brayton or Johnson?


The Answer

Recommended Posts

People are pretty high on Jonhson, not that they shouldn't be, he has done a great job, but I think Brayton has done an solid job starting. Yes, he does over run some plays and he isn't always in the play, but neither is Pep. Brayton has done a great job in run defense, and just shows glimpses of amazing strength when he pushed tackles onto their asses. So I'm asking who do you think should be starting Johnson or Brayton, Not saying Johnson shouldn't start but just don't undermine what Brayton has done for us this season.

I like Brayton he's only just switched back to DE after having two years out of the position and he's played pretty well. I say he keeps the starting job but keep rotating Johnson in on passing downs like we've been doing.

I don't think the team would perform any better with Brayton as the rotational guy over Johnson, so why change now?

It's funny that Fiz says that considering the only good thing Johnson has shown, in terms of displaying starter material, is a play here and there.

yeah I never said anything about Johnson there thanks for trying

Fiz, I'm not basing anything off of the 2 plays he had on Garcia, I have been watching him since he came in

then you have diminished expectations of what a starting DE should be doing.

Leave it alone for now, with Brayton as the starter and Johnson getting considerable minutes. Next year though I think that Johnson will be the starter. He is going to be a very good DE for us in years to come. I like what Brayton has done for us this year and he has definetly revived his career but I think that Johnson has much more potential. This is really just his first year in the league, he only played in what, the last 3 games last year. He will be a force beside Pep next year.

Brayton makes one play and all of a sudden his mediocrity is forgotten

"One play", c'mon he's made a few good plays almost every game. He has given some big plays on occasion but he's solid. Not to mention he did set the tempo for the defense the last game. Remember the 1st play?

    • With Schoen and Dan Morgan being tight I’d figure we knew this was coming and since he is released, Dan didn’t bite.    But, a quick search says this is at least 80% cap related. They have No cap space and save 8 or 9 million with releasing him.  He has been a captain his entire time there. 145 tackles this year.  They are picking 5th with a new staff and looking at Styles. Hitting that age 30 season and had a disc issue last year (meaning 2024) that did not require surgery.  I haven’t really watched him play but he activated the antennae.   
    • OK, we are letting our top RB go.  We have Chuba, Etienne, and Brooks.  Imagine a player who could LEGITIMATELY play the slot and back up at RB?  I am sure he'd be a special team player as well.  I noticed him at the combine, and thought, "Here is a late rounder who could stand out as a slot and provide depth at RB. Without further ado....(I know one Huddler who might be able to tell us more about this guy): Navy running back/wide receiver Eli Heidenreich headlined the 2026 NFL Combine for the Midshipmen, running an official 4.44-second 40-yard dash and recording 16 reps on the bench press. Recognized as a versatile, "Swiss army knife" offensive weapon, Heidenreich solidified his draft stock as a potential day three target.    Eli Heidenreich (RB/WR - Navy) 2026 Combine Performance: 6'0" 200 lbs.   40-Yard Dash: 4.44 seconds. 10-Yard Split: 1.55 seconds. Vertical Jump: 35.5 inches. Broad Jump: 10' 0". Bench Press: 16 Reps. Highlights: Showcased as a premier receiving threat from the backfield, having left Navy as the program's all-time leader in receiving yards (1,994). High character.  Smart.  Maybe, just maybe....  
    • These refs are horrible.  They definitely got money on this game lol.
