Chris Johnson

So it's the lack of engagement and the lack of effort, especially in the run game.

Now you've got the mini-bye, and you've got a team with rookie Chris Johnson, the nickelback.

You just mentioned Juju Brents with the concussion, Jason Marshall.

It feels like this is a week where A.J. Brown – could produce and the Patriots, frankly, need him to produce and start showing why a first round pick was worthwhile giving up for the guy.

And I think using last week's tape, the two plays to Mason Taylor over Michael Taff and Jason Marshall, that's a key for all the guys.

I would throw Brentson and Chris Johnson in there as well.

You must play through the hands of the receiver and don't let A.J. Brown's subtle pushes and tugs and arm bars get you off balance because he can do that where he sets you up right before he elevates to basically pin you to the ground and then you can't elevate with him to go make a play on the football.

If you don't have your base when he goes to make that play, if he gets you off balance, that's where he wins.

So akin to last week when I talked about matching those two tight sets, with your nickel defense because we have the corners to tackle from that grouping even if they're in 12 and 21 that's a typical don't go to nickel right we talked on the on the bills period podcast for years how they're going to run nickel 98 of the time alec ingold should not leave the field julian hill should not leave the field we should stay in these two back two tight end sets and run the ball at them I think that's kind of what you have to invite against this Patriots offense if you're the Dolphins right now.

I think that's the order.

And go back to Marshall or even CJ, Chris Johnson on Hunter Henry.

I think Juju Brents, if he can go, would be best suited for A.J. Brown.

15 plays, 91 yards, ending the touchdown with six seconds on the clock.

Granted, some of that was, Aaron Glenn, you can't take the timeouts with you, brother.

What are you doing, man? I'm thinking like, okay, he's slid inbounds.

Obviously, they're just trying to bleed a clock.

I had to put Ultimate Team down.

It is... dog

just Sunday like it's just Sunday bro Chris Johnson speckle out of a Bowman after the game and I pulled a Drew Messamaker first not a parallel but hoping but brother I still rip him buddy I mean you can see look at downtown

I pulled that myself devon h and auto i bought that one

He's a safety three for me this week.

And then Chris Johnson, still a CB1 option

with really strong usage.

All right, Sunday night football is next.

Want to say maybe against Cincinnati or Cincinnati, I believe.

and the Dolphins decided to have Chris Johnson outside.

They started Julius Wood as the nickel corner, but he's done a lot of good work on special teams.

He was very good against the Jets in that game.

Just like, how is this possible? How is it possible?

Well, I mean, Garrett Wilson is studying the tape all week long, and he's looking at Chris Johnson, who's a rookie.

And then Chris Johnson can be a good player, first-round pick.

But how is it that Garrett Wilson isn't allowed to go to work on a rookie corner? Like, he's arguably your best player.

Like, how is it that you're not getting him matched up against Chris Johnson? I'm just using Chris Johnson.

It could be Marshall on the other side.

It doesn't make any difference.

Look, I mean, Chris Bell, like all the rookies are good players.

and I like the fact that they just they're not supposed to be good this year the goal this season was find good players that can help for the future and off the top of my head there's probably four players from this draft class that I think can be good contributors for them.

Chris Johnson, the rookie cornerback, he looks good.

Rodriguez looks good.

The Dolphins basically drafted all the guys I liked in this draft.

So keep that in mind.

Chris Johnson did play 100% of the snaps.

Michael Taft played 100% of the snaps.

He played 59% deep.
