He needed 16 games like he played the first game of the year.
Then we saw all that potential, with sacks/FFs/pass break-ups and sideline-to-sideline tackles. Since then he's just been "solid". |

Very good he is among the top defensive rookies !!!
To call a rookie season like this solid is really not correct.

It's nothing better than solid. Not many sacks, TFLs, FFs, INTs or any other such big play. Just a bunch of tackles with the odd impact play thrown in. Solid. At best. |

good Rookie year.
Nothing exceptional, some rookie errors. Definitely not a bust. 2nd year will be a good measuring stick.

He was very good.
He was able to come in and play and start in all 16 games. That's rare for a Chief. He did what he was asked to do, and as a rookie did very well. People want him to be a Ware or Merriman or DT and forget that he is a completely different type of player. His college scouting analysis: ANALYSIS Johnson is a natural leader with exceptional quickness and is regarded as one of the finest pass defenders to ever play linebacker in the collegiate ranks. He has good size, but needs to dedicate more hours to the weight room; he lacks strength on his lanky frame. This is Johnson's major weakness; he does not show enough power to shed blocks and gets washed out on plays when working in-line. He also needs to use his hands better; he leaves himself too exposed, resulting in the blockers getting into his chest to lock on and sustain. Johnson did add bulk before the 2004 season, but the added weight did not affect his exceptional quickness. He is best when making plays on the move, but can get a little bit out of control, resulting in over-running plays. Still, he is a natural playmaker who can make plays anywhere on the field. Johnson has excellent instincts in pass coverage, coming out of his backpedal quickly to stay on the hip of the receiver. He gets excellent depth in his pass drops and sees the play develop quickly. Johnson has excellent hands for the interception and shows an explosive burst to elude. He has a very strong work ethic and a motor that never quits. Johnson excels at making proper reads and has that sudden burst to get to the play almost instantly. Johnson's ability to take proper angles to the ball cuts down on the route he must take to disrupt the play. Johnson is more of a drag-down tackler than one who will collide on impact. He is very effective rerouting the tight ends in the short area and shows excellent avoidance skills when penetrating the backfield off the edge. Johnson has good hip snap and change-of-direction agility to pursue the action on the outside. He closes with a sudden burst and is very effective to wrap and drag down the ball carrier. He gets a good jump on the ball, easily recognizing formations and blocking schemes. |
