Kaleb Johnson

Once Tomlin stepped down, and Auther Smith took the OC job at Ohio State, it was the beginning of the end for KJ in Pittsburgh. He needs a specific run scheme to flourish…the Lafluer run scheme will fit him much better than the McCarthy scheme would. That said, KJ has shit to cleanup and/or get waaaay better at.

@haydensly point is the right one. He is in a good spot with Green Bay…now can he take advantage of it? Don’t know.
 
Um, the Packers look to have a hole to fill at RB given Jacob's lovely treatment of women. This could work out well both ways. But I hate the Packers like all teams from Wisconsin, so I don't wish him too well.
 
We'll see what happens with Jacobs, but there are a lot of rumors out there that the victim was exaggerating the details of what happened. A friend of mine in Sheboygan said that she has a history of generating drama (FWIW).

As for Johnson, I hope he steps up to the plate but it's not going to be easy. LaFleur's system incorporates a lot of timing and mis-direction. Kaleb's going to have to learn that being a RB in the NFL is more than just getting the handoff and hitting the hole. Pittsburg fans have been saying that he struggled with learning and remembering concepts, and that the coaches were questioning his dedication.
 
Never really got a shot with Pitt... Being the 3rd rb was as high as he coulda gotten on this yrs squad. This is a phenomenal situation for him. Since he was traded he's still on his rookie contract and not a FA one where he woulda had to take a pay cut. He's gonna get thrown in there with GB so this is great all the way around for him

speaking of Auther Smith. I saw an interview of his on the B1G. He's an odd duck. Whenever I see odd ducks like that I have my doubts about how well they'll do. Please book mark this for end of the season...see if I'm right.
