My heart says Black, but my head says Johnson. Black at least makes a block once in a while, but Johnson is in his third year and has not yet made an effective block.
That said, Johnson is a good enough runner that he makes up for his non-blockage in other ways. When Black has a 100 yard game, maybe I'll think better of him, too.

Do you guys have Tivo?
Johnson had ONE bad play today. The other two times he whiffed, there was more than one guy to block. He can't block two guys coming from different directions. Shields looks like a shell of his former self. |

Will Shields is looking bad, but that is because he has to block whoever Black/Welbourn is blocking, in addition to his own guy.
As for the WORST blocker on our line, I voted for Jordan Black. That guy is just plain awful. He cannot handle the defensive end rushing along the outside. Every single time, the guy just runs right past Black to get pressure, get a sack, or force a fumble. I can't even describe how bad Black is. It makes my head hurt. |

Can someone Tivo and show a good block by Johnson?
I'm not complaining about him overall, because he's got the potential to be a great back. I just don't think he's ever made a block in his NFL career so far.

maybe in a couple of days when i have the energy to actually watch the game again i'll post a couple of johnson's "low energy, patty cake" blocks.
even when he does FIND the guy to block half the time he doesn't look like he has the energy to do more than slow the guy down. could imagine how well he'd do if he blocked with the same intesity that he runs with?

He's been fine in pass coverage previously, including his 5 starts last year. Interestingly enough, during those 5 starts he didn't have Jordan Black starting at LT... |

I guess I'll have to see him again. I remember him moving outside to block a guy, seeing Shields, and then turning back too late to block the inside guy.
Again, I'm not blaming him for this play because there were two guys coming at him, and in fact, he made an awesome play to make the touchdown-saving tackle. But I want to see it again before I'll believe he made a good block on that play.
