[JHoward]

ESPN is reporting that we have signed a linebacker by the name of Riall Johnson to a one year deal, hes a former Cincinatti Bengal. Does anyone know who this guy is and what hes about?

[GriffinRB22]

[EMCF]

I searched for him under linebackers at NFL.com.... nothing...

[EMCF]

Ahhh, here we go. It says he is a cardinal.

or just search Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&q=%22riall+johnson%22&btnG=Search) yourself. Add "draft" & "analysis" (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&safe=off&q=%22riall+johnson%22+draft+analysis&btnG=Search) to that search.

Here's some stuff I pulled off of various pages...

Round 6: LB Riall Johnson, Stanford - A 2001 special teamer, Johnson needs to crank it up a notch to crack the starting lineup anytime soon. Looks like a backup at this point.

Riall Johnson, OLB * A solid player, he's not the guy Lewis is looking for to play opposite Brian Simmons. Don't look for him to be back next year.

Stanford’s linebacker/defensive end Riall Johnson, whose stellar performance earns him Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Week, records a career-high FIVE sacks including a tackle of WSU QB Jason Gesser for a safety with 11:28 left in the game.

LOL well it dont hurt to have an added insurance policy.But one guy Im really high on is Pat chukurah, I think he has something special. He may not look so fancy but he has a burn inside of him for this game and Id love to have him here for the start of the season, to see what he can do against the *****S!

Agree.
In the times when the D plays 3-4, he'll be a great person to have up on the line.

Hey, since this guy is from the Cardinals maybe Jake knows a little about him.

[Chronic_Toker]

The only thing I like about this guy is his birthday...4/20 :D

Considering our luck with LB's and injury how can you say we dont need more?

I'm EXTREMELY excited about Pat Chukwurah, he's been doing great on special teams and rushing the passer as well. He's explosive and very strong, he has experience as a pass-rushing end and that's how he's got all of his sacks (3), is from rushing the passer as the "little" end in dime packages. Think about this: In dime situations, only four d-lineman right? How about move Chuk to the little end spot, move Hayward or Raylee over to Pryce's original side and then put Trev in as a tackle. That sounds choice to me...
