July 8, 200719 yr http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=32841&format=html For the record, I agree with LV. Micah will not contribute this year at LB as much as he can on the DL.
July 9, 200719 yr There are many who think he would be best served by starting out with his hand in the dirt.
July 9, 200719 yr I think you have to find a way to get your best athletes on the field at all times. I think its a glamour thing with Johnson, much like I think it is with Pulley and QB. If the kid wants to produce, he will set his pride aside and put his hand on the ground.

If the kid wants to produce, he will set his pride aside and put his hand on the ground. Hopefully we're not to the point where we ASK a player IF he wants to play a certain position.

July 9, 200719 yr Larry Vaught writes an excellent article. To me, Micah Johnson's future is not at linebacker. He does not move his hips well enough to cover sideline to sideline. He would make a good/great defensive lineman once he gets comfortable at that position.

July 9, 200719 yr Fletch would let you know, that I screamed that from BEFORE Day One. I was there with you. Coming into college at 260 plus and with the explosion he seems to have, I was saying he would have been a good one on the end. If he ever makes it to the end and has the drive once he gets there to get better he will make a good one.
July 9, 200719 yr I would have to absolutely disagree with you. I don't think it's Micah's call at all. You dont think the coaches consider a player's wishes? I have to absolutely disagree with you. Especially when it is a kid that had offers at all these other big time colleges, they want to keep him happy b/c it is very possible he would transfer.

I believe you discuss it, and then do whats best for the team.

Especially when it is a kid that had offers at all these other big time colleges, they want to keep him happy b/c it is very possible he would transfer. Sounds reasonable. I was just basing it off the fact that when asked, Brooks has said that he has no intention of moving him to DL. We will see.
July 9, 200719 yr I think so just on the strength that he is quicker then alot of linemen...I Agree he's better of on the DL.
July 9, 200719 yr If he is as good of an athlete as this article makes it out to be, why not go Belicheck? Let him move between Outside linebacker and DE. Let him take advantage of mismatches, use his athleticism.
