Both involved hitting Skins quarterback Mark Brunnell. It wasn't the first one that concerned me but the second one was inexcusable. The Texans were within 16 points in the fourth quarter when Washington back Rock Cartwright fumbled on a simple running play. Shantee Orr picked up the ball and rambled 77 yards for a touchdown but "Hold on Nellie." The play was called back because Johnson hit Brunnell about 75 yards away from where Orr crossed the goalline.
What was he thinking? How stupid can you get? It was obvious he was trying to take out personal frustrations on the opposing team for being manhandled the entire game. Is it you or the team? Sometimes players look for little cheap shots to retaliate, to get even, but end up putting everyone on their side in a deeper hole. There were many more dumb mistakes and miscues but cheap shots like that have to stop. The NFL is a hard league to compete in let alone win in. It takes maximum effort, excellent execution and heady play to be successful. Until that happens with this team, each Monday morning we'll continue to wish the current players were in a classroom being taught how to use their brains.
