And the most initialed group of safeties in football history, all containing the letter "J":

C.J. Gardner-Johnson
J.T. Gray
D.J. Swearinger
T.J. Green

And for good measure, P.J. Williams in the slot and A.J. Klein at linebacker.

Literally no one else on the roster is referred to by initials.

What about DB#9, CGM, and AK41? :shrug:

:hihi:

Swearinger makes Roman Harper look like a coverage Safety. He’s awful in coverage, and from what I can tell, he has a poor attitude.

This move makes me think Vonn Bell is hurt worse than we know, and Gardner-Johnson will be out with a concussion.

Injuries are stacking now... this is awful.

If Bell were severely hurt, he'd be on IR. Relax.

Even if he's out till the playoffs, atleast we will have him then.

Davenport and Rankins going out for the season is "awful". Losing a few players for a game or two is not "awful". It's football.

He’s an interesting one. He has played well, has a certain swagger you want on D, at least I do. Plays nasty. Hits hard. But can’t stay on a team. My brother loved him (Skins fan) and I’ve watched a lot of him over the years. Idk why he doesn’t stick as he is very talented.

The only thing I see in common with most of the teams he's been on is they've consistently been bottom-tier teams with shaky or questionable leadership at best, whether it'd be at the HC position or front office.
  • 2013: Texans (2-14) - started 10 games
  • 2014: Texans (9-7) - started 12 games
  • 2015:
    • Buccaneers (6-10) - primarily played special teams with 21.7% of ST snaps to only 10.1% defensive snaps
    • Cardinals (13-3) - promoted from practice squad after Tyrann Mathieu went on IR, only played in four games and started 1
  • 2016: Cardinals (7-8-1) - started 12 games, had 3 INT and a FF
  • 2017: Redskins (7-9) - started all 16 games, 4 INT and a FF
  • 2018: Redskins (7-9) - started 15 games, 4 INT and 3 FF
  • 2019:
    • Cardinals (4-9-1) - started 4 games before being released, Cardinals went 0-3-1
    • Raiders (6-8) - signed when the Raiders were 5-4, started 3 games, played in 4, Raiders went 1-3 after signing him
If I were him, I wouldn't have been very happy on struggling teams either. Thankfully we're presently in a far better position than every one of those teams above except maybe the 2015 Cardinals which were a solid unit that year.

I also notice that like Janoris Jenkins, he's never played in a playoff game. Something we can provide both of them with.
 
Just saw on Twitter that Swearinger was calling Michael thomas a clown last season. Said Thomas was dirty and liked to hit players in the legs way after the play. Hope this don’t cause a rift in the locker room

Ty awesome post.
 
In 2018 before we played the Redskins, Brees needed 200+ yards to break the passing yardage record. The Skins were giving up the fewest passing yards at about 180+ per game. One of their secondary players was talking about not letting the record happen on their watch. Was that Swearinger? Maybe Josh Norman?

Of course, that record dropped in the second quarter with the pass to our rookie T. Smith.
 
Isn’t he the one that went off about how laid back and soft the Skins practices were? So they gave him his walking papers? I think he may not be the best attitude for a locker room but he flies all over the field and makes plays from what I remember. Believe he was even the captain of their defense in Washington. Hated playing against him.

When motivated Swearinger is a fiery player who plays with a lot of intensity, I don't blame him for a frustrating departure from Washington, that franchise has been dysfunctional for so long now. Sure he could have handled things a little better, but in the end he just wanted to win and they were doing things Defensively from a coaching standpoint that frustrated a lot of the veterans there.

He really needs to step in and just be depth with the Saints, and maybe fill in Vonn's spot for 2 games.
 
From what I’ve read so far, he was pretty good last year but not good this year. He wasn’t on a team long enough to really get settled in though.

Either way, I think it’s just a depth signing and I like it. It’s not like he’s going to come in and ruin the team.

and Gardner-Johnson will be out with a concussion. Can a player still pass protocall on game day morning??

He was also the guy that guaranteed that Brees wouldn't break the passing yardage record against the Skins last season when he was with the Skins.

He said "it was personal".
