Can AD respond like Ted Johnson did in 2003
Last week's benching of AD reminds me of the time in 2003 when Ted Johnson was told that he was going to be deactivated for a game and he left the team. Johnson was underperforming at the time and him being told that he was not suiting up for a game sent him over the edge. It also lit a spark in Johnson and he turned around his career for the next twp years and became a dominant run stuffer.
Could this type of motivation do something similiar to Adalius Thomas? I guess we will get to see today. |

burgess had a sack and a FF late in the game he played a lil better then AD did but not by much i just think that AD is not the super star LB he was made out to be in the free agent class of 2007 |
Re: Can AD respond like Ted Johnson did in 2003
Or maybe he was but even with the low-mileage he came out of Baltimore with (relative to other LBs his age), maybe he's already 'hit the wall'?
