I have been waiting to see if anything would be posted on him but I have not seen this mentioned yet...... but did anyone else notice that CB Trumaine Johnson did not start @ his usual left CB post against the Giants? Johnson had started 6 straight games since he returned to full action against AZ wk 10? EJ Gaines was said to have started last Sunday.
In truth its hard to keep up with what DB starts or doesn't due to the amount of Nickle & Dime that is used. But early on the few times the Rams had just two CB's on the field (very rare) It was EJ & JJ not TJ. It had been discussed that EJ was the Nickle after Joyner went down to injury. Speaking of E.J. Gaines, it was reported Monday, according to coach Jeff Fisher, and is going through the league's concussion protocol. EJ was hurt several times in the Giants game but returned until the 3rd quarter when he was carted off.
Back to Trumaine, early in 2013 TJ had a poor TC & pre season but by the end of the 2013 season & early this 2014 pre season until Trumaine was injured it was my impression that Trumaine Johnson was the Rams best CB. So what I saw from his play against the Giants was surprising. Not sure what was going on with Trumaine but it was certainly one of his worse performances that I have seen if not his worse. Johnson has been very healthy until that injury in pre season (MCL sprain) all I can recall is a concussion he had in November of 2013. TJ had injured that same knee back in 2008 in his first yr in college. in 2009 he was injured with a concussion and broken arm.
Has anybody seen any information this week on Trumaine Johnson being sick or ill before the Giants game? Lets hope that he was just having a really bad game & hope not to see any more play like that.
