Andre Johnson - What happened today? (1 Viewer)

Exile

Andre Johnson came back like gang busters last week. This week he faces the worst D in the league and gets 3 catches for 37 yards. What happened?

 
Walter and Daniels got more looks today. Tried AJ deep a couple of times, obviously didn't work. I'd like to see him get the ball more as well as a Texans fan, but it's like anything else in this hobby--sometimes things just don't make any sense. Everybody not named Tom Brady has an off-week now and then. Andre will be fine...

 
the browns double covered Johnson all day, he only got 5-6 targets the whole game.

schaub was going to walters and daniels all day because the d was playing them both really soft

edit to add this is what i saw while at the game

I watched most of the game and he was just really well covered. Surprising since it was the Browns, but they just seemed to really game plan for Johnson. He didn't appear to be hurt or anything so that should make you feel a bit better from a fantasy point of view. He was just well covered.

:thumbup: This is exactly the info I was looking for. So thanks and thanks to the others who actually contributed something useful to this thread rather than add yet more crap to the Shark Pool.

 
Brandon McDonald had him covered for most of the game I believe. The rookie was in position all day and had a heck of a day.
That dude owned AJ all day long...
Can any Browns homers chime in onto where he came from? Honestly it was the first Browns game I watched from start to finish and he looked awesome. Really shutdown Andre Johnson, has McDonald been playing all year?? Or was this his first start??
 
I was at the game today, and my brother had just picked up AJ, so we had our eye on him. We commented several times that Schaub wasn't even looking at him. One time, I saw him in the slot covered by Andra Davis and almost panicked - but he didn't even get a look... whew.

It looked like he wasn't a big part of the game plan to me. They did try to go to him long into the wind one time, but the wind knocked it down.

Just my :thumbup:

Rookie 5th rounder IIRC

Wright should be injured more often. McDonald looked impressive out there.
 
McDonald covered Johnson like a king size blanket on a queen-size bed. Very, very impressive.

Watched the game quite a bit, being a Jamal Lewis owner.

 
McDonald DID look good, but like someone above said, AJ wasn't a big part of the gameplan--it was like they settled for using him as a decoy instead of moving him around to try and exploit mismatches. Add to it that Schaub--who rarely looked his way--was a little off today and voila! AJ becomes a non-factor :angry:

Seeing as that did`nt work out to well my guess it wont happen again
 
Schaub under threw him on a few passes. The coverage was good, but it looked to me like is was more due to poor QB play.

:goodposting: The coverage was good but it was by no means perfect. Schaub lobbed up a few terrible passes, most of which were behind Johnson. Johnson would have had at least 1 huge gainer if Schaub could've made a decent throw.
