Awful game for him. To be fair to him, he hasn't been this bad all year, but he was going up against a Top 3 to Top 5 NFL receiver and was clearly the inferior player. Then again, Hopkins has done that to a lot of guys this year.

Johnson is one of those guys who's "not quite a #2 CB" but talented enough to keep around. He's just not much of a playmaker. I expect they look to replace him in the off-season.

Hopkins TD shoulda never occurred cause when he had possession of ball on 3rd down he was actually a half a yard short. Then the penalty on DJ was BS.

Ill give him another 3 games but right now i still wanna re-sign as first outside CB off the bench, spoon goes to #2 and we sign Trumaine/Butler/Fuller/Breeland.

Should never be more than a #4 or #5 DB on a team...still has a place as a backup.

Yup. NFL quality player, but as depth.

On an average team he's a 2-3 guy on a good team he's a 3-4 guy. He's going to continue getting owned when he goes against top tier talent but against an average nfl receiver he is adequate.

yeah i would be down to resign him at the vet minimum and make him depth and a ST player. Nothing more. Dude almost lost us the game. That has to be one of the worst games ive ever seen a CB have.

DJ hasn't been good all season...he was exposed big-time by Hopkins. I don't know why anyone would want him on the roster in 2018. He has size, but when you can't cover, it's a moot point. Lynch can sign a good CB in FA and draft one. He has to get someone worthy of playing alongside Witherspoon. I'd rather keep Mabin than DJ.
