Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Looks like the Eagles D coordinator may not being coaching this season. Going for his 2nd round of chemo therapy. I hope he pulls through, he's a staple of the NFL and one of the best at his job. My thoughts go out to him, his family, and the Eagles.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Definitely. I was surprised he even considered coaching this season. From all I've heard, it's really serious. There's a rumor that it's spread to his brain, but I don't know if that's legit.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Cancer is a nasty thing. Chemotherapy is not much better. As tough as it is for him, it's just as tough for his family. Keep him and his family in your prayers.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
I hate to see anyone going through that type of illness or situation. Hopefully healthier days are ahead for him.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Jim Johnson's defenses are fun to watch for any NFL fan. Except when he was tearing up your team. Hopefully he pulls through ok.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Clearly football is but a spit in the ocean of life here...but since this is a football board...losing Jim Johnson plus their leader on the field defensively (Brian Dawkins) this could really hurt the Eagles.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Effing cancer. Damn that disease. My girlfriend and I have a close friend going through chemo right now for Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She's 29, runs marathons, doesn't smoke... you just never know.
My prayers are with Jim Johnson and his family.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
Johnson has a really uncanny feel how to use the blitz, which I feel is a lost art in the NFL, as too many coaches blitz now-a-days to create "pressure" on the quarterback rather than to systematically break down protection schemes.
He's one of the few coaches in the league who I would consider an asset on their sideline. I don't think their prospectus changes much with him out, but it's going to be tougher on their defense to stay near the top of the league.

Re: Thoughts with Jim Johnson:
I admit i thought we should have interviewed McDermott as a DC when Williams left. IMO any coach from that Johnson tree has learned from a true defensive genius and is a valued commodity.
