Al Johnson to sign today .. ??

[General Chaos]

Here is Al Johnsons scotuing report...

"Johnson is a four-year veteran who lost his staring job last year and played as a backup and saw some time as a tight end in Dallas' elephant formation on the goal line. While he has good measurables, he does not play up to his measured size. He does not have a lot of punch or explosiveness into blocks and tends to get rag-dolled and thrown off his base too easily. His initial quickness seems to be his strongest asset, but he is not a natural knee-bender and often loses the advantage he gains by being quick. Against the bigger guys, he seems to have a hard time hunkering down and will get bull-rushed back into the pocket. He might be best suited going to another team as a guard, if that team plays against a lot of odd front defenses. There is enough left in him to be a quality backup who can start and not hurt his team if the need arises."

yeah but pasquarelli says he is one of the sleeper FA's and still has a lot of upside.

What else would you expect from a big ol' texan?

He went to college at Wisconsin....maybe that's a hunk of muenster.

Buccaneers | A. Johnson will visit team
Sun, 4 Mar 2007 20:10:53 -0800

Jim Flynn, of PewterReport.com, reports free agent C Al Johnson (Cowboys) will visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hopefully, Johnson blows off the Bucs. He was good enough to start for Parcells, so that's good enough for me.

Leckey/Johnson is definitely an upgrade over Leckey/Stepanovich, IMO.

According to another article, Johnson has already recieved the offer from the Bucs. But he still came here.

From the seriousness of Matt's face:

It kind of looks like a first date with Matt wondering if this guy should be allowed to stick his hands between his legs.

I think that he will get moved to back-up guard when will grab Kalil with our 2nd rounder.

Al Johnson

Picks up stunts and blitzes and stays balanced. One gap defenders seldom beat him with their first step.

Not a powerful drive blocker. Lacks the lower body strength to push the pile. Must play with perfect technique against bull rushers.

Johnson is at his best as a pass protector. He does not dominate as a run defender but he plays with good leverage and is fundamentally sound
