Chiefs FA Pickup WR Taurus Johnson - Page 3

TRR · 05-01-2009, 07:40 PM

This guy looks like he has some real talent. His stats don't show what the highlights do, but everything I've read seems to peg him as a good kid, and a hard worker. You can tell that he doesn't have blazing speed by any means, but some of these highlights are amazing no matter what level.

He has two highlight films, and I would say he has a chance to stick.

He had 3 good games. UCF, KU, and Louisville, none of which fielded very good defenses. Other than that, he was largely invisible. Take a look at his game totals in the link above.

Bring him in and what he can do in training camp.

Camp fodder or find? Pioli and coaches to decide.

Looks like he couldn't get himself motivated for the poor teams.

Outside of Bowe, every one of our receivers is not going to draw double coverage. Unless we can make another pickup, this is going to be another poor offensive year.

I think Dedric Ward could fight him for a roster spot.

(ok, he didn't really say this but it seems like something he would say.)

He has some serious speed it looks like, at least serious acceleration. Is he our #1 someday?

I played high school football with tj, if the WR thing doesnt work out, he could also he could be a saftey, as evidenced from some of his highlights he can deliver a hit. the reason his stats werent at the level as some prospects is that matt grothe just took the ball and ran with it about 60-70% of the time.

Welcome to the Planet! good info, thanks. Maybe the new management does know what they are doing, cool.

The one thing I do like about him is that he doesn't mind going over the middle, and they even highlight his blocking downfield on a couple of plays.

So his highlight film is literally ALL his catches???

...ah, what the hell though. Good luck Taurus.

Bowe and great hands do not belong in the same sentence. Unless it is something like, man, for a first round draft pick, one would think Bowe had great hands. Then it would work.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 05-18-2009, 01:35 PM

Sippio had good hands. We could do a LOT worse than having Sippio on this team.
