Didn't we have a really smart safety who couldn't tackle earlier in the year? I'm hoping he has the physical ability. that goes with his brains.
He was a second round pick and like I said before...
There is talk he could unseat Satele, who could be moved to guard. Johnson is a little bigger, quicker and more powerful. He posted a 4.95 40 while Satele ran a 5.20....

Chris Crocker. Sparano liked his smarts (he commented on his intelligence at least once in the preseason), which is why he started the first 2 games of the season. Problem is, my grandmother could tackle better than he could.
There was actually a different Guard getting some playing time on Sunday. He was flagged for a false start but I had never even heard of him. Brandon Frye. He is listed as a Tackle but is playing at Guard.
Al Johnson was said to not be "in game shape" so maybe we won't see him until next week. Not sure if he playing this week but I did not hear anything about him. The announcer did do a good job of letting everyone know of the personnel changes with each series.
I was really impressed with how much Miami substituted players on both sides of the ball. That's really got to keep their legs fresh and shows that we're building depth.
