Taron Johnson appreciation post

Is there anyone else in that secondary today besides Johnson and Poyer that would ball hawk like that?!?  Just a great, aggressive play by Taron to fly towards the football for the INT.  Some of the other younger guys back there seem a little more reactionary...and will tackle the guy after he catches it.  Taron and Poyer just go after the ball and it's the difference in a close game yet again.

He gets beat sometimes, but has a knack for making really big plays like against Pittsburgh, Baltimore, KC (not all this year) etc. He makes 1 or 2 game winning/ game changing plays a season.

He looked great breaking on that ball but the issue was mahommes pump faked in that direction and taron started moving up and then mahommes threw to the same spot he pump faked a second later taron was already well in position and flying towards the spot.

I was planning on getting a Taron Johnson jersey in off-season with Taron on it instread of Johnson due to some bad memories but he changed the number! Taron is probably the best nickle CB in the league.

 

Like Allen and Poyer and Hyde and Milano we are just expecting these terrific plays.

Taron Johnson is criminally underrated. Not by the team - he’s earned every penny of that extension already. But this little subset of know-it-all fans that think you can move these guys around in the secondary like chess pieces. Taron makes that play because he knows his position, knows it well and plays that position better than pretty much anybody else in the league.
