Saints happy they stuck with DT Johnson

He looked like a steamroller against the Colts. Really good push . Hope he shakes all the rust off, looked really like he is a force.

Franklin/Rogers/Ellis may be getting a real push now that Johnson is getting healthy.
At least I hope so. Our front 4-7 needs a shot in the arm. Perhaps Johnson is it.

I know he's listed at 288, but I remember reading during TC that he was up around 300.

Yeah, what first struck me about him on those CFL clips was his pursuit of the ball handler, which is something that we got a glimpse of against the Colts, but hopefully that was just the top of the iceberg when it comes to his abilities.

And Danno... I remember you were also talking him up with me in the pre-season - one of the only ones - so big ups to you too!

He really stands out when he's in the game. I didn't know anything about him when he came here.....I just know he looks good playing for us.

Well, as far as I'm concerned... you're definitely on the driver seat of the Gallette bandwagon!
