Chris Johnson's weaknesses?

1. Catching. He can't do it.

2. Breaking tackles. He goes down very easy. A lot of times a guy will just get a hand on his foot and he'll go flying, falling to the ground.

3. Vision in the open field. A lot of times he gets in too much of a hurry and ignores his blockers down field. There were a lot of times where instead of going outside for a sure TD, he'd try to cut inside...leave his blocker, and get tackled.

But that's nature. No one is flawless. Except The Gloat. Of course.

 

I agree. I think he has to get stronger legs and work on his balance.

I also agree with Deuce Wayne; he doesn't have natural catching skills. I also agree with Titan_Fan_Forever, he doesn´t seem to read blocks as well as LW.

JCBRAVE makes a great point too, he gambles way too much with his celebrations.

The last one for me is the use of his speed. He doesn´t seem to stop, change directions and change speed to his advantage. He gives me the impression that once he makes up his mind he goes through the hole and doesn't adapt to the changing conditions of the play.

Nevertheless I think he's great! If he could improve steadily he should become one of the best ever.

 

His hair. When somebody tackles him by it... Oh boy!!!... that's going to hurt like hell. )

 

Public speaking.

 

he gave up half our sacks, although that's only like 3.

 

Pass catching and he is easily tripped up by shoestring tackles

 

Sure he's got a few flaws but i would expect that from a rookie. I dont think he has to improve on much,the only 2 things i can think of right off the bat is pass blocking and catching the ball a little bit better. Both of those things are going to come with time and expirence so i'm not worried. He had close to 1500 all purpose yards and was one of the more explosive RB's in the league last year so i'm not going to sit here and dissect his game. I'm glad hes playing for us and looking forward to watching him turn into one of the top running backs in this league for several years to come.

 

Go watch his TD runs in the Colts MNF and Ravens playoff games.

Man, we should make it mandatory that everyone gets super long dreds, so that our team is a predator team.

 

Chris Johnson Doesn't Break Tackles?

See:
0:39- Bengals guy gets an arm on him with a diving tackle and CJ doesn't even slow down.
1:40- Guy hits his legs in the beginning of the run, goes through it to stiffarm another guy and continue to the endzone.
1:58- Ask the colts about his ability to break tackles
2:20- What would have been a tackle for a loss turns into a 10 yard gain thanks to him breaking the tackle.

1:09- Our only touchdown came from a broken tackle of Johnson.

Look I know CJ doesn't break every tackle but when he does get tackled he will usually push the defender for another 3 or 4 yards. Thats more than you can ask for out of a speed back.
