Maybe it is just me but I sense a little bit of propaganda with Johnson. He is the body that can play right now and I am sure he has a lot of people rooting for him.
Should be interesting to see how he plays versus the Chargers.
If he runs hard, takes what is given him and can pass protect, he could have a role here.
I do see the irony though. People have blasted Murray for his lack of "speed", yet they embrace a player they have probably never seen play who quite honestly had a very pedestrian 40 at the combine.
If McFadden or Randle were playing Thursday, we wouldn't be hearing a thing about Johnson. He is in the forefront of the media members minds and so they're asking questions about him they normally wouldn't ask... and are then writing articles about him they normally wouldn't write.
When Romo is asked about him, of course he's going to say what he said. He isn't going to say anything negative about him. We have heard Romo impressed with team mates before... it didn't sound like this. He was just saying stuff to answer the media's questions.
Maybe he's good... maybe he's not... but we can't tell anything at this point. Now if he is impressive all pre season long, then we will have something to talk about.
If this was a regular season game instead of PS game #1, both McFadden and Randle would be playing. LOL at the media trying to make it look like Dallas doesn't have any RB's.
