Significant roll for Will Johnson???

sameolgee-MEN : 6/30/2016 10:09 pm
I think his versatility as a blocker, runner & pass catcher will be major for us this year. Coach Mac has been awfully quiet about how they're gonna use him in the offense. He will line up as the H-Back. I think he will be big for us in both the run & pass game....your thoughts????
From What I've Seen...

Donnell is the only player on the team with a significant "roll".

I see him as a Kaiser kind of guy

What's up with Johnson  
mrvax : 6/30/2016 10:54 pm : link
He played 4 full seasons with the Steelers and only had 8 rushes, 31 passes his way. Did Pittsburgh screw up? Was he an exclusive blocker? Anyone actually see him play on the Steelers?
He'll run a lot of crescent-shaped

routes.
He's gonna duke it out with Whitlock . . . .  
TC : 6/30/2016 11:22 pm : link
(Last year's larger than life hero in the minds of many BBI members.) for a roster spot, and may the best fullback win!

I'd love for all the fantastical things that have been projected that Johnson will accomplish come true, but really!?!?

Mmmmmm. Yeast rolls.
Will Johnson is here to block.

You probably can expect 20 to 30 carries and 10 to 20 receptions for the year.
Significant roll.

He's a utility guy

Not a secret weapon anyone will be afraid of.

ColHowPepper : 7/1/2016 5:29 pm : link
he rolled us
As a running back, he's had 8 career rushes for an average  
Ira : 7/1/2016 5:36 pm : link
of 1.8 ypc. As a receiver, he's a little better, but his 60 yards a season isn't the stuff legends are made of.
Giants TEs really struggled  
bc4life : 7/2/2016 9:22 am : link
re: blocking last year. Think about formations with TEs in backfield. And he is effective a blocking FB. He will play a significant role but it will be, for the most part, facilitating others making plays. And, he will make a few plays when needed, but they will be dumpoffs, mid-range catches, maybe some red zone stuff.

In short, negligible offensive weapon, but important role in making the offense work more effectively.
could also be part

of short yardage back solution
the guy never  
area junc : 7/2/2016 10:24 am : link
called him an impact player he said hed play a significant role. and he's right.

the giants O really needed a skilled blocker who could line up in the backfield, flexed or at the LOS and execute the plays. johnson can do that and bridges the gap of what wasn't working last year
He's 27 years old  
Ten Ton Hammer : 7/2/2016 10:30 am : link
and out of a possible 63 games, he started 21 of them.

If he was this skilled blocker who could flex out to the ends and do things, he would be that by now.
is that

a serious post hammer? it can't be
It's actually  
Rob in CT/NYC : 7/4/2016 8:58 am : link
A post with some facts that support an opinion. You should perhaps try it instead of the "make shit up" schtick you have been running with.
he's a skilled and punishing blocker  
bc4life : 7/4/2016 9:17 am : link
3rd or 4th read receiver reliable dump-off receiver and a respectable short yardage runner and he plays specials. I would call that significant.

Will Johnson has 8 career rushes. Four of the carries for zero yards. Who thinks he can run? Based on what?

I can live with being called an idiot by a liar and a fraud, particularly one that was laughed off the site under a prior handle and had to skulk back, Thomas.

Go back to pretending you are some sort of insider, if that is what your ego needs to struggle through the day.

the guy coming to an internet message board hurling insults

will johnson's a good, versatile blocker who proved that in PIT. hammer's "facts" disputed none of that. deal with it
by the way

this whole bullshit about me pretending to be t2 is about as stupid as anything i've read here
of course reading comprehension isnt the strong suit of many here, including you
T2?  
Rob in CT/NYC : 7/4/2016 1:45 pm : link
You think that is what people are referring to? Good God you are "special". And adorable is a sick puppy sort of way. Don't ever seek help, get better and change.

Any word on Anthony Davis? What's the latest from Baalke?
I think..
