Ben Johnson……
You can always come up with a list of reasons why he may not be all that he is claimed to be. For example:
- He has the benefit of one of the top rated offensive lines in the league. Any team that fired their coach will likely have the opposite.
- The year before he took over, their all pro center and their starting LT missed most of the year, so he had the benefit of having key OL starters back once the offense was his.
- Goff is better than he gets credit for, will Johnson be able to do the same with someone like Sam Howell?
- Etc
All that said, his Lions offenses have produced, and coaches with worse resumes will be getting a look this offseason. He deserves a shot.
