Johnson is a solid blocker, I think he stands a good chance at making the roster as the 2nd TE, but that depends if we draft someone.

Gibbs' system is time tested, so there's no reason to believe Saunders will get rid of it. It will just be him tweaking the existing offense, just like Bill Musgrave did last year (shotgun), and Saunders will call the plays.

Johnson's worth a roster spot. He was in Chicago before Washington, so I got to see him in training camp and whatnot. He took a lot of snaps at wideout, but he was listed at 240 in the program then (3 yrs ago), so he's obviously been asked to bulk up. If he's got special teams value, we should definately keep him around.

I wish that he become antonio gates (chargers) clone

he's WAY slower than gates... i think during his draft year he put up a 4.96 40 time

he could still be a decent player, but he's been around the league a few years without making any of noise, so its less likely.

Really? I just don't remember seeing him on the field at all.

he had 1 catch for 7 yards and then went straight to IR

Honestly I seriously expect to see some pretty big changes. Maybe not in the overall scheme, but definitely some new packages thrown in.

Robert Johnson will be great to have on the team. They say he sold his soul at the crossroads to be so talented.

Must be true if he's still around playing.

~grin!

yes, definitely Robert Johnson the legendary blues guitarist, not to be confused w/the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

I think his primary purpose of being here is blocking...he has good size but his speed and recieving skills are a question, Cooley is actually faster than him. Seems confident though...

I liked what I saw of Johnson last offseason
