DB Dontae Johnson North Carolina State

Dontae could see the field more often after Bethea's season-ending injury in the slot.
dont think that Tarrt will be lined up at SS on obvious passing plays, Ward will take over.
I wonder. Johnson can move to Reid. Trying to see if Johnson can better play at FS? Reid should better should bench!

Bad fit for Mangini's scheme. Total man to man CB. Mangini is forcing his roster to adjust to his scheme rather than adjusting his scheme to fit his players.

It's disgusting to watch the misuse of players by this coaching staff

my main gripe is not using Carradine, Armstead and Lynch on passing downs ...but DJ does need to get more snaps to sharpen his tools

Yes!
Is he starting today ????

100%. I was really excited by Johnson last year, and a few other players as well. The younger guys specifically who showed flashes last year. Mangini should use the talent he has. If not, get a DC who can/will cough<Fangio>cough.
Will he cover Julio?

Horrible coaching for these teachers who we so called hired to play to players strengths

Fangio didn't use all of the talent either...cough<exaggeration>cough
I've been a fan of this kid. Yeah, he may not be the quickest and may struggle w/ certain aspects. But, I love his size. He seems to be in good position and makes plays. Acker and Johnson as starting CBs? I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Baalke's strength seems to be finding "diamond" in the rough secondary guys.

I wouldn't mind that either. If there is one thing Johnson does very well, it is locate the ball and make a play on it. That's something we haven't seen from many of the DBs on the team. Sometimes players without the best 40 times make up for it by just being in good position and Johnson seems to have a knack for that.

I'd be fairly comfortable with Johnson defending opposing teams big rangy receivers. Guys like Dez, Johnson, Jones, Green etc. Give him some safety help and let the guy make plays.

Dude is good. He should start.
he should have been playing all season long. he did nothing to lose his job. he is a man to man corner you line up on the outside and forget about and we have him on the bench not doing anything.

he stood up tall every time he was supposed to and has since day 1 he got here.

total wasted half of the season not playing clearly the 2nd best corner on the team and an actual rising star.
More DJ less Keneth Acker PLEASE!!!
