    Johnson.. our #2?

    Finally?

    Could he bet it?? I really think so.

        I dont think anyone can deny what Josh Reed means to this offense. He's clearly the 2. Johnson seems to be a great spark, but he cant do what Reed does for the running game, and all the underneath stuff.
        I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
        "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
        You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
        It was all
        true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
        He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
        mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          EVANS by far is the #1
          Johnson is a good 3rd or 4th option

            When we go three wide, Johnson should come in as the"number 2", bumping Reed down to the slot. Actually I have been saying this for about 2 months. He has an NFL body, and can also contribute in the running game. Lining up as the number 2 when we are three wide would give Johnson a shot to earn a starting role.

              In a stat I made up- "Plays per minute", Johnson is up there. He is younger with a lot more potential. He can physically do more.

                Why do people still fail to give Reed the credit he deserves. He has developed nicely, and what the hell has Johnson done , he had 1 catch for 3 yds and a TD.. how does that make him a #2 WR ????

                not saying he won't get better but this thought process that Johnson has earned the #2 spot is ludicrous... BUT I do want ot see him play more

                  Well, if I was a DB, I would rather cover Reed right now.

                    One of the dumbest comments you have ever seen?

                    On THIS team Evans is a #1 by default and paycheck. Do his stats support that? NO ****ING WAY. Regardless of who he has opposite of him, he's only catching 2,3, maybe 4 balls a game. Is that a product of the scheme we are running? If so that means he is being sent long every play and the DB has safety support over the top.

                    I have seen Evans cross the middle a lot this year so I can't fully support the "going deep" theory.

                    Josh ****ing Reed cought 9 balls yesterday. Are you telling me that Turk couldn't get Lee more involved in the game or are we paying Lee all that money to be a decoy? I understand he is drawing the oppenent's best DB 90% of the time but a good #1 receiver should be able to catch more than 2 ****ing footballs in a 60 minute affair.

                    The bottom line is that Lee Evans would be a very good #2 receiver. He isn't playing like a #1 receiver.

                      Let's be fair. Evans is often double covered. That makes it alot more difficult for him to get passes all the time. Of course, if we had a viable #2 that could draw attention also, it would be harder to pay so much attention to Evans. Also, if our Oline had more consistency - especially at Center, perhaps the passing game would be better.

                        Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Johnson looks damn good and he could be one of those "diamond in the rough" draft picks. But he has a long way to go before proclaiming him the #2.

                        As far as playing Reed in the slot on 3-wide, well, that's just being smart. Reed is a great slot receiver and using him in that fashion doesn't automatically make Johnson #2 on the depth chart.

                          What do we have to lose in having play #2 WR ? The season is over? Why not give him some play time and work on his improvement on the field? We already know what Reed has to offer? At this point, I think we need to give Steve Johnson, Ellis, Bryan, etc more time as we may need them to step up next year!

                            The only issue I have with playing Reed in the slot is that it does not take advantage of his great ability to block and seal off the corner on the outside run. But other than that he's an excellent slot WR.
