The David Johnson Thread

[06panther10]

Might as well get this going...

What an amazing amazing game. It is truly depressing that he had this game in a losing effort. Just like he did at Wisc, just like he did at Iowa...

And I want to state on the record, that I believe that DJ will play in the NFL when his time at UNI is done. The dude is only a sophomore and can do it all.

vs. wisky, iowa, ysu...7 tds....

and some clowns on this site were asking for carlos to get equal opportunity...

Re: The David Johnson Thread

Carlos only had 3 carries tonight. Hopefully it's not just a one night thing, and they have decided to make DJ the feature back, instead of splitting carries so often. Carlos is good in spots, but DJ needs to be getting the heavy bulk of the touches out of the backfield.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to one-up you with my post from APRIL of 2011, before he had even played a game.

Fair enough, I had defiantly not seen him play a game on 8/28/11 tho. Doesn't matter, kid's a beast

To be fair Carlos averaged more yards per carry tonight, but yes DJ is clearly the better back but hammering defenses with DJ then bringing in Carlos in for a few carries will be very effective. Considering we need to win out it better be

Nothing against Carlos at all. Every time he fields a kick/punt he has a chance to put 6 on the board. He's still probably the 4th or 5th best back in the conference

and there is the scenario where after DJ has grabbed the attention of the defense, they can have both DJ and CA in on the play, with DJ as a diversion, like they did tonight. (though I'm not sold on the wildcat formation)

Re: The David Johnson Thread

he's an nfl player. great versatility for today's offenses.

Re: The David Johnson Thread

he's good. His ability to be a weapon in the passing game is what makes him so dangerous. He can take a beating that Carlos can't, although Carlos is one of the better backs in the conference as well, he can't shoulder the load Johnson can.

If DJ can't make it in the league I have no confidence in today's scouts.

Re: The David Johnson Thread

from a strategic standpoint, I think the less touches Carlos gets the more effective he is in the return game.
