Johnson vs Lloyd that is.
Maybe it was just me (somebody tell me what you saw) but everytime I saw Johnson on a running play; you could see him dogging his route and clueing in the DB (rest of D too?).
And then to top that off; I dont think I saw him throw a single block on a run that wasnt actually an uncalled hold.
I was very excited about Lloyd acquisition, somewhat disappointed about his productivity and YAC not being there; but at least he is a COMPLETE PLAYER and he GIVES 100%. I have been impressed all season by his run blocking and committment even when he doesnt get the ball (clearing out others routes; blocking after their catch etc)
This game did a bit more of a revealing about him and his role for Pats - and I would have to say; even if he isnt as tall or as fast as Johnson; I would rather have him for THOSE INTANGIBLES than a prima donna player who looks like he quits out there.
He is a total player.
