Quote:Storm Johnson looked like a guy out there trying to utilize speed and agility he doesn't have.

 

He was making good reads but he has to realize he's a big kid out there. Lower your shoulder and plow over these tiny DBs and get that extra yard.

He did the thing I can't stand on a couple of occasions where he'd hit the line and turn his back to try to get more yardage, but that never works well.  Stay low and push forward.  He's an interesting back to watch, but he's got a ways to go.

 

As far as Denard goes, that TD was a great run for him, but it was a misdirection play that allowed him to take the pitch in open field.  When they tapped him to run the stretch, or to punch it between the tackles, he struggled, as did the other backs.  The line didn't do any favors for any of the guys.  Decent lanes were few and far between.
