RE: Johnson
The key is does he build from these last two matches or is this a mirage.

I wish he would've woken up earlier in the season.

RE: Johnson
Nightmares always make you wish that. Maybe we could back to sleep and re-dream it, though.

Haven't seen us make plays like that in a long time, and that was just one example; there were several.
But that one was amazing. Great two man game, good seal on the cut, great delivery both on timing and placement. A PROFESSIONAL pass off a very nice motion.
It was one of the nicer passes I've ever seen actually. Understated, but very correct.
That one play felt like a cathartic turning point.

This is no mirage. There was a reason why the coaching staff wanted him. He simply wasn't ready physically and accustom to the team as early as fans and the coaches wanted or thought he would be

yea..what a pass. I've been watchin' him like a hawk ever since Vegas. Dude's got chi beyond the norm which translates to team flow even when he's standing still.

I felt like KJ gambled on that pass. He really squeezed it between defenders to AN. But it worked, so...

That was no gamble. A gamble would be a bounce pass or over the top to AN in that position and since KJ did almost the same play in the first half where it worked showed that it works because he's skilled

Yep.
On the replay from the baseline you can see Kedren & Austin making eye contact.
Another thing I’ve noticed about Kedren is he attacks the double-team looking to pass before he get there. While most players do the opposite, when he does this someone is open.

IDK for sure but I believe it’s two with a possibility for a third if he files and wins an appeal for last season.
Maybe someone else with better info will chime in.

Best way to get in game shape is to play games.
