I am confused as to why Johnson wasn't brought back only to bring in Phillip Gaines. If Taron ends up as the starting nickel I would hope Gaines gets cut. Maybe... the difference is scheme. McDermott’s scheme is ideal for Johnson. Rex Ryan’s defense was not idea for NRC. There’s a big difference in his play in LA last year than in 2015 or 2016.

The Jokeman Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 We can always re-sign him after June 1st. As he probably knows the playbook without breaking g a sweat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Personally, I'd like to re-sign hm for vet minimum. Either way, with: Tre'Davious White Vontae Davis Taron Johnson Philip Gaines Levi Wallace Ryan Carter Siran Neal (S/CB) Things are looking up at the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's because I went and put his name on my old Terrence McGee jersey. That's why. That guy was Damn good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the guy that always got picked on in big situations . He was nowhere near the player that NRC was. Johnson wasn’t horrible but was totally expendable. The Bills tried to upgrade at a lower price. I agree - - he was average at best and this staff doesn't want AVERAGE!

MrEpsYtown Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ehhhh nobody else has signed Johnson, and a million corners were drafted. I think that tells us all we need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I believe we brought in Gaines for that spot. He's still available if we need depth at the position. We know he's not a star - hes 28 years old. You don't find stars by just settling for the mediocre DB that you had the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills tried to upgrade at a lower price. this is probably about right. i think they may have wanted to go younger, faster, and cheaper here. and the guys they still have on the back end seem to have a good chemistry and plenty of veteran presence and leadership.

NRC after Schwartz was not same ball hawk and surprisingly good solid tackler. He would have done well with McD i might guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I actually like Taron Johnson to win the slot job. I think they want youth in that secondary. I believe they want to create a Legion of Boom or Jackson 5. One of those great secondary's that is given a name. They want this defense top 5 for a long time and how you do that is by bringing in a lot of young talented players. A veteran like Leonard is a nice cork to fill the hole until you find a really nice slot corner. I liked Leonard Johnson but they want this secondary to be great and he just isn't quite that.

This is a good mantra to follow for now. Like Gaines they he helped them play as a team. I think the system is up and running on it's own on Defense. Well i think McD's moves in the secondary suggest that actually. hell if i know. wild guess really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are using slot receivers a lot more and the Patriots definitely use them. Slot corners are really important in today's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
