“What I tell the Quarterbacks is…
Force us to play you.
When you get your reps, play so good that we don’t have any other choice but to play you.”
- Nick Saban
Update: RB Ty Johnson, formerly of the #Jets, suffered a Torn Pec injury while working out. He says the team told him to "Fix it" but cut him the next day after he did.
"I’ve had some Dark, dark days, man.”
"Told them [about the injury]. I told them even before this, I was like: ‘hey, was working out, [the torn pectoral] happened’ — saw the team doctor, he was like — ‘you need to get it fixed.’ Flew out the next day [to get surgery]. Came back happy that I got it done, even though I didn’t want to get it done. That following Wednesday, you’re outta there!"
Johnson had surgery on the advice of the Jets doctors, even though he says he didn't want to, came back to the team and they cut him.
Johnson had 42 total touches for 248 yards last season, and averaged 5.3 per carry.
