Having all these young guys is great, but when someone inevitably gats hurt, you have to have solid guys to replace them. While Johnson's game on end has diminished, he is still playing at a high level inside....

I don't know about that Sled ?

Take are hard look at the guys that way more than likely make the team at DE: Dunlap, Willis, Lawson, and Hubbard.

Then look at DT: Atkins, Baker, and Billings. And you don't have a lot of spots left.

You've got at DT Andrew Brown R, Ryan Glasgow 2, and Josh Tupou 2. Then at DE there's Javon Rolland Jones R, Gaelin Elmore R.

I'd say there's a fair chance at least one of these 5 make the team as they're not putting more than a couple D-linemen on the PS.

Michael Johnson is 31 years old and his game at DE has declined rapidly the last two seasons ! He's decent against the run and has some use as an inside pass rusher. Do you really pay his salary to a guy who gets 10 snaps a game ? And you're taking playing time away from these rookie and 2nd year players.

I won't be shocked at all if MJ has played his last game in stripes.
