I guess now we are shopping for a backup center.

He was pretty good at that capacity, he had talent despite the nay sayers.

Another wasted OL draft pick by the great Bill Parcells. Johnson, Jacobs, Peterman...need I continue?

how was Johnson a waste? he was actually a pretty good center for us when he started for 2 years and hes a guy that deserves to start in the league.. we just had Gurode who played better and is a probowl center.

I agree Sir.....To bad about the set back his rookie year.

You just fart sunshine and happiness don't you? Good grief Charlie Brown, he stayed on the team for four years and started a bit, contributed on special teams and was trusted as a sixth lineman in goalline situations.

His size was smaller than Gurode which was the main reason he surrendered the starting slot.

Peterman and Rogers never evn saw the field on game day.

Think happy thoughts you old crumudgeon before life turns you into a raisin.

I must change my mock draft up in the draft zone...I have to include Kyle Young now, plays center and can play guard...DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH !!!

 

[dallasfaniac]

I can only imagine the Az board (if they have one): Bah, if he's so good why was he available? If Dallas didn't even try to resign him how good of player is he. I can only hope that he is more motivated by coming here and possibly changing positions.

Shame, I think he'll be a great center in the right system. I even remember after his first full year reporters were characterizing him as a "potential pro bowler"

I really like Kyle Young even though he is dropping. He pancakes players in 1 on 1 drills which is pretty rare. He is just a big physically dominating player that can't move real well. Kinda like L. Allen and L. Davis.

 

[BLT]

i think that reasoning " if hes so good why is he available" is the dumbest arguement ever... in that case no good players would ever become free agents...

Yes, he was a major success story. LOL. Get serious.

Seeing that tons of 2nd round picks never start a single game, Johnson has been decent.

Some day you'll learn that guys are not either all good or all bad. Just like us grown up fans.

thanks abe... at least some 1 understands.. the guy was a starter on our team and could probably start for half the teams in the league..and IS going to start for arizona... Gurode got an other chance at starting and did better than before so he won the job, but if Gurode hadnt gotten better Johnson would still be the starter here, and that wouldnt have been that terrible.

Kinda sounds like some of us on this board in reference to Mr. Leonard Davis.
