Had the same feeling about Johnson. Maybe a contributor next season.DVR’d and just finished.
- Jakob Johnson looked very solid as a FB clearing out guys and making holes. Did a nice job staying square on contact when leading the way. Great guy to have as part of the international program. Develin is no spring chicken as a 31-year-old fullback, and the demands of the position obviously don’t lead to very long careers. Given the emphasis on the run game as Brady winds down, the fullback position has high intrigue for me. Maybe Johnson can be the guy a year or two down the road.
- The segment with Logan Ryan and Harmon really made me miss him. If only today’s game was like past eras where you could more easily retain talent and weren’t battling with the salary cap which guys like Lombardi, Schula, Walsh etc didn’t deal with. Just another small reminder that Belichick is the greatest coach, as well as GM, of all time.
Similar feelings about the second point (BB’s mastery), other that the fact that I am THANKFUL for FA and the impossibility of keeping the gang together. I love losing players, because while other coaches fall in love with a player that helped them, BB’s ruthless analysis is exactly why he keeps winning. Add to that : the new faces he needs to bring in to replace departed FAs are hungry and keep the train rolling.
