As you all know, Jim Johnson passed away today at the age of 68.
Jim Johnson wasn't just a defensive coordinator, he was an innovator of defense. He never stopped working to get ahead the "regular" defenses. http://csnphilly.com/pages/landing_09?Johnson-Often-Did-His-Best-Work-on-Napki=1&blockID=65673&feedID=692 This story is one of my favorites regarding Jim. Andy Reid has ignored the defensive side of the ball because of Jim Johnson. That is the ultimate sign of respect and trust. Jim Johnson has produced 26 Pro Bowls from players and all his players respected him.
Jim Johnson is one of the best defensive coordinators/innovators of all time. He will be missed greatly. My prayers go out to his wife Vicky and the rest of his loved ones.
RIP JJ
