Not happy about this. Now I need Sabby or Rouse to step up for me.
Can Johnson produce while Williams is out? Does he have the talent to hold on to the job if he plays well?Polyethylene Bag said:
Yes. No.
Whoa whoa whoa. Maybe it's just an unfair question, because Madieu is a dang fine safety, and a rook would have to have the talent of a Sean Taylor or LaRon Landry to displace him in their first year, but your short response does not give due to Johnson's talent. He might not be able to displace one of the top free agent safeties, but he's destined to eventually start and he's got the athleticism and aggressive mentality to be a good DB in both fantasy and NFL terms. I for one am excited to see what the kid can do thrown into the fire, because he had his best games against the two UT's last year when his Arkansas State team (also Tarvaris's school
) was completely outgunned.
I assume Johnson was drafted as the heir apparent to Sharper. You give this Johnson kid a chance, he may never look back. His coverage ability will most likely make or break him, in terms of replacing Williams, once Madieu gets healthy. Anyone hear anymore on exactly what type of neck injury Williams suffered? It may be a longshot, but stranger things have happened. Stay tuned ...Whoa whoa whoa.

Wait. You think that the Vikings would start Johnson over a healthy Madieu Williams this year?Johnson was the guy I wanted the Vikes to draft and was obviously pleased when they did so. But he's not going to start over Williams this year.Whoa whoa whoa.

Wasn't Johnson being groomed for SS anyway, before the injury?Wait.

Who knows? The Vikes move their safeties around quite a bit, so he's probably being looked at at both safety spots.
Yeah but the ball is away and Jennings is running for the endzone.
Nothing definitive coming out of Vikings land, but if you want my homer guess I'd say that Johnson starts at free and Sharper starts at strong.There has been no word as to when Williams will be back.
