Pac Man, Lets Not Forget Our Own Darrell Green The Heart Is Something
You Can't Check Til Game Day.plus As Another Guy Said Speed Can't Be Taught. But I Tell You What Mr Brown Out Of Auburn Sure Would Be Sweet Running Out Of Our Back Field, Sorry Guys Just Dreaming But 4.4 Speed And
230 Pounds Of Ouch Sooooo Shhweet. Oh Well We've Got The Mighty Might.
But It Would Be Nice. Thanks For Letting Me Ramble
I dont like to complain, but i couldnt read your post because you cap'd every word. That makes it terribly difficult to read.

sorry bout that trying to remember, i check in through the day and sometimes i forget to turn it down,

Johnson is definitely the prototype OLB...a fast pass rush guy, who is relatively small (6-2 230). Definitely a NOT a run stuffer. Plus I hate what Im hearing about him running around blocks and not taking the most direct route to the play. Thats definitely not the trait I want in my MLB!


Amorentz-
Are you talking about the right Derek Johnson?
First off your numbers are all wrong, at yesterdays (3/23/2005) U. of Texas pro day, Derek Johnson was measured and weighed by the NFL and he came in at 6-3¼ and 243 pounds. He lifted (bench press) the 225-pound strength bar 21 times and ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds.
Also check out his highlight video of last year, first link on the left under his picture:

On this highlight reel you will notice he was playing MLB on some of the biggest hits. About 1/4 of the way through (the 6th and 7th play on the reel) he was at MLB and making big hits.
Living here in Texas I saw many of his games and nobody around here is saying he ran around blocks. He is very physical player.
Maybe you are refering to another Derek Johnson?

If Derek Johnson is gone, we should look to trade down a few spots and draft Auburn CB Carlos Rogers. This guy is a great/ physical CB. He is getting stronger and bigger, he recently (a few days ago) was measured at 6' 1" and 200 pounds and ran the 40 in 4.31 seconds. That is awesome. Plus he had a strong career at Auburn (SEC).

I like Rogers a lot. Great tradedown guy!

Derrick Johnson would be fine by me or Carlos Rogers

We don't need another superstar LB, Pierce was a quality player but he's not a superstar, we can replace him either in the draft, or with what we already have, without the need of taking DJ with the 9th pick, we have much more pressing need's. LB's are a dime a dozen the system makes or break's them especially MLB [see Trotter], CB's on the other hand are much more valuable. I see us hopefully trading down a bit and taking Rolle in the first.

I just hope we get Matt Jones with one of our picks
