Congrats to Curtis Johnson
Good to see some of these "behind the scenes" guys getting some recognition. Johnson has done great job having our guys ready. Our receivers run solid routes, Brees knows where each of our receivers is on the field. But the biggest improvment I've seen our receivers catch the ball with their hands, not their bodies. It's sounds simple but Donte Streetcloths was notorious for catching the ball against his chest. Which resulted in lots of passes bouncing off his chest. The route running and catching all can be traced to Johnson.
Another assistant who deserves to be recognized is OL Coach Doug Marrone. This guy has really done an amazing job of asssembling then having the OL play like they've been together for years. Jhari Evans is a true rookie, Jon Stinchcomb is a virtual rookie, Jamal Brown switched from RT to LT without a letdown, Jeff Faine is playing at Pro Bowl level. This unit is prepped and ready to play at a very high level every week.
I just hope we can hold onto Johnson and Marrone for awhile......right now I think the Falcons would kill for Johnson and I'm sure the Panthers would love to have Marrone.....
