This was bound to happen with Reynolds struggling mightily...Plus Johnson was a good G at Alabama and had a lot of starting experience there....Plus, he was drafted in the third round which tells me that we eventually wanted him to start...Let's see what hes got

Thought so, good news. Yeah he was really impressive at Alabama. I've seen almost all of their games for them the past three years.

Im guessing it is RG.... But yea... Lombardi said we will see change with the O-Line then he said Mike Johnson will start now.

I was also impressed (i watch bama games also... So many prospects) by Johnson... I think the injury set him back

Awesome. We have nothing to lose at this point, and Reynolds is awful. Johnson would have won the job if not for the late TC concussion. If he and McClure can fix the middle, maybe it will mask Baker's deficiencies.

can say i really don't mind this move....
RE: Mike Johnson - phocis850 - 09-28-2011 10:29 PM
He will be rusty and is a newbie. My hopes aren't set that high.

Best case scenario, we return to 2010 level of offensive line play, which is middle of the pack.

It seems like TD and Smith were ready for him and like you said the injury set him back. Let's hope he is 100% back and 100% ready to Rise Up.
