I've never been a fan of TJ Johnson and IMO if he hasn't become a starter by now, he likely never will (or at least should). By the time of the Ravens game, it essentially became a tryout rather than a normal game. The team was already out of the playoffs and everyone was essentially checked out. Give your upcoming FAs a chance to get some regular game tape out there rather than just preseason tape.
I guess i somewhat understand that and TJ did play well at Guard, which is why they re-signed him i am sure.
The Ravens are not a bad front either, which is why i actually liked re-signing him.

He is our biggest question mark, if Og plays well, we are sitting much better than presumed.

Those aren't the types of accolades I find impressive.
Me either, the thing that made me have some hope was the want though. Lapham said last year he didn't have
that when he was getting beat, the want to not get beat. This seems like a very pleasant change. Dude can have
all the talent in the world but if he doesn't want to be great he won't be.

For sure, this helps with strength though too.

Agreed as usual.
