Around SBN: My First Fight: Diego Sanchez

The Colts signed DT Antonio Johnson from the Tennessee Titans practice squad. Johnson was a 7th round pick in 2007by the Titans, and missed his rookie year with a knee injury. Johnson is 6'3, 310 pounds, and played his college ball at Mississippi State. Some impressions of Johnson at Mississippi State are here.

Now this, this makes me happy.

The King of anti-fail.

sounds good

I like that he was on the list of guys who were doing well rather than the “sliders” list.
I also like that Polian is continuing to try to improve the defensive line problems.
Also, if there’s a team where the practice squad DT may have some real talent but there’s just too much depth at the position on the roster, it’s probably either Tenessee or the Giants.

Questions about Muir

I wonder if that means that he’s going out the door or if they’re still going to keep him and see if he can get healthy?

he played Green Bay and Tenn

and wasn’t on the injury report. He’s healthy.

Nice Move

it does say something about just how desperate we are for a playmaking DT. It makes me excited for the draft.

do we still have Lajaun Ramsey? or did he get the boot

Ramsey is gone

He was cut after the McCargo trade, but never re-signed.

Not often

A former Titan comes HERE and not vice versa.

Good pick up.

He was performing well enough in training camp and pre-season to make most teams’ rosters, but we have so much depth on the defensive line that there wasn’t any room for him.

Antonio Johnson, DT, Miss. St. . . .2007 Sporting News Draft issue analysis . . .FYI

-strong at point of attack
-flashes quickness and power to run through blockers and shoot gaps
-locates the ball quickly and is a solid tackler
-sheds blocks on running plays
-gives inconsistent effort . . .must show more intensity
-limited range; lacks speed to chase down ballcarriers
-is raw; must improve his pass-rush arsenal
Bottom Line: has potential as a gap-charging run stuffer. He is talented and could become a starter who can disrupt the inside running game
