Giants, Skins and Hawks are the opponents where Johnson played mostly in the slot.

He also played almost the whole Dallas + Denver game and a few snaps against Chicago, St Louis and New Orleans.




Totally agree with the rest.

Slot is where a stupid CB could be burned easily. Would you expect that by any Hawks WR?

A Few Other Stats I Found Looking For Johnson


Johnson is also one of our top ST players. Out of 1089 players Johnson is Nr. 92.

Our best player on special teams is still Chris Cook (IR) at NR 27.




By the way our two special team aces Ray Ventrone and Kassim Osgood come in at 968 and 1063.




And last but not least. Carlos Rogers, who Johnson replaced this season in the slot, is dead last in the NFL in completion percentage. 84.6 percent of the passes thrown into his direction are completed.

What should we do with Ward next year? I think Johnson earn the starting position over him.

Cornerbacks Slot Performance


When Johnson lines up in the Slot opposing QBs have a 43.8 NFL Rating when throwing into his direction. Thats the Third Lowest Rating in the NFL (the lower, the better).


1. Darrelle Revis NFL Rating 20.0

2. Brandon Flowers NFL Rating 33.8

3. Dontae Johnson NFL Rating 43.8

Just more stats proving how good the kid is playing out there

And he just started getting his feet wet. He'll only get better and better in this defensive scheme.

Don't get too excited about those stats, after all....he's only played against RG the Turd, and Russell Wilson.

Yeah, good point...how many games has he played now mostly at slot? Since Ward's been out? I know he's played some outside as well.

Mostly in the slot -> NY Giants + Washington Redskins + Seattle Seahawks.




This season Johnson played a total of 225 snaps on defense (slot + outside) and has a NFL Rating of 65.2. Thats 14th best in the NFL (out of 117 CBs).


14. Dontae Johnson SF 65.2

------------------------------------------------

A few other notable rookies.


27. Jason Verrett SD 76.2
29. EJ Gaines SL 77.6
36. Phillip Gaines KC 80.6
64. Kyle Fuller CHI 93.3
75. Justin Gilbert CLV 99.0
81. Bradley Roby DEN 104.5
85. Bashaud Breeland WAS 108.9
113. Jimmie Ward SF 134.3




The percentage of receptions completed into his coverage (225 snaps / slot + outside) is 42.9. Thats 2nd Best in the NFL (out of 117 CBs)


2. Dontae Johnson SF 42.9

----------------------------------------------

3. Vontae Davis IND 45.0
4. RIchard Sherman SEA 45.1
.
8. Darrelle Revis NE 47.8

This season Johnson has 3 PD (passes defended) and 1 Interception on 21 Targets.

To put those numbers into perspective.

This season Sherman has 4 PD (passes defended) and 3 Interception on 51 Targets.




Note I dont want to say that Johnson is as good as Sherman or Revis, both played way more snaps on defense. BUT when on the field he has been highly productive.

Huh?

He gave up one catch to Gates for 28 (from the slot IIRC) but otherwise, played well.

Yep there was a throw in the endzone that he played perfect D. He didn't get the INT, but his length impacted the catch, and the receiver dropped the ball. Similar to what Sherman does for Seattle.

LOVE his size, length but best of all, his positioning and timing. B/c of his size, WR's "look" covered as well and QB's are less inclinded to throw up a jump ball to him vs. someone the size of Brown, etc. in year's past.
