Lane Johnson intrigues me.
I see that athleticism that screams potential at LT. I also see size at 6-6, 305. Has long arms and knows how to use them. Once he locks onto a defender he rarely lets
go. Has a bit of stick ‘em on his
hands. He has great agility. Sometimes his feet get cemented and he gets
beat, then lunges to recover. Needs to
learn to always trust his agility and compensate that way. Most times he recovers rather well though.
When he gets beat up to the corner he uses his agility to freakishly
compensate. Quick feet and use of long
arms keep him in front.
A very smart run blocker.
He doesn’t quite maul as much as he places his body and seals very
well. He’s always in the play and uses
his body well to shield. Moves the defender exactly where he wants him to be. I wonder what
his strength tangibles will reveal. Even
if he isn’t the strongest he’s learned how to compensate.
His mind seems to be locked into the play and stays with his
assignment till the whistle. And if he
gets a switch he recovers smoothly.
Doesn’t panic but stays with the most sensible block. Appears to be a smart player. I love that he gets mad when he could have
blocked the guy for a few more yards even though he just pushed him 8
yards. He doesn’t seem to settle for
less than great. He claps his hands in
disgust when he doesn’t meet his own expectations. He’s always looking down field to find someone
else to block. Doesn’t take breaks when
the play isn’t to his side. Finds his
way into the fray. He was moved around a
bunch on the line and is smooth on either side.
Heard he played QB at one point, which lends to his savviness. He’s raw
and has a lot more to show.
Considering his size, agility, and football smarts Lane
Johnson has all the potential to be a great LT.
