re: Will the lack of depth on the D-line be a + or - for Anthony Johnson

I think NFL scouts notice that he's constantly double teamed.

He's not doubled as much as you would think if you key on him during the replays. But he does get some. I am disappointed in his play and the nfl needs to be last of his worries right now. He has had a few years to understudy under some great dlineman but it hasn't translated into him being the dominate starter we expected. I think the arm is hurt more then we think.

He looked gassed during the auburn game and was getting pushed around. I think his arm is bothering him and he doesn't have the strength he normally has.

I also don't care about his draft stock, but he does need some rest to keep him fresh in games. Lacouture has looked ok and is a serviceable replacement. He is just so young and needs more time in the system.
