Mythos27 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Good. I can now make peace with the Austin Johnson pick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 So they avoided paying a bonus on Monday of 1.5 million. I guess that makes sense. They must think Johnson can develop and that he and Woods (Yeah, I know) can cover it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I was surprised as hell when I saw this thread, but I didn't realize he had money become guaranteed if they didn't cut him. Regardless, I expected him to stick around as a backup but if they are cutting him now I can only assume he didn't grade out all that well. Not sure if this puts them in play for Poe or Hankins but it certainly become possible. But I assume they will just make Johnson the de facto starter at NT. Then draft a DT like Dalvin Tomlinson or someone similar in round 3 or 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doogie Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Woods looked like he showed some promise, though it was only one game. I bet they bring in a vet to compete with Woods and Johnson. We shall see. In JRob we trust! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helimachoptor Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Are we potentially cutting him and then re-sign him Tuesday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1TitansFan Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 If you're not a recent JRob draftee, you better be producing at a high level to stay on this roster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Im pretty sure when we drafted AJ that JRob said they liked him better at DE. Id be ecstatic if they signed Williams, he's a monster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't overly excited with the pick either, seemed kind of like a NT but not quite big enough. Yet not athletic enough to be a pass rusher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he has the goods now that he'll see more snaps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a pinch but I think he has always been slotted as a DE when they were lined up in a 3-4. I do think he could play NT but I don't know that he has.
