I can't believe DV spanked Johnson like that...that's freakin' classic. He seemed to be bruatlly honest about Baker's lame azz punting before he cut him...hmmmm

...of course, we were all hearing how Johnson had grown up so much and was looking to be a real team guy, blah blah...

...this shit is better than a soap opera...

He said that if you spread half of his 70 or so catches among Kris Wilson, TG & the WR's, and limit him more to rushes, he could still make as much a contribution but mostly as a rusher.

When, after 2 games, he only had 4 catches, the rest became implied that it was game planning for him not to catch the ball as much out of the backfield.

I was under the impression that Priest had been the last of Green's options in his progressions. If that is the case, then Priest's 70 or so catches were the result of the other guys not being open in the first place.

Regardless, those pass plays to the RB have been a big part of our offense for the last 2 years and from what I can see, we really need them back.

What I can't understand is why he(Vermiel) gives soooo much leeway to some players, and rides others like a coal Mine Mule.

There are players it seems that Vermeil is immune to disparaging, while others can't do anything right.

I guess none of us know whats happening behind the scenes.
