http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=A ... &type=lgnsJim Johnson frustrated opponents and confused young quarterbacks with his complex defensive schemes, always looking for a new way to disguise a blitz.
He never ran out of ideas or the desire to coach, even when he had more pressing concerns. In his final days, he was concerned about the start of training camp.
Johnson, whose attacking defenses helped the Philadelphia Eagles to one Super Bowl appearance and five NFC title games, died on Tuesday. He was 68
Thoughts and prayers are with Jim's family.
R.I.P Jim.

This was so disappointing 2 hear.
Always love to watch his blitzes when they were in full flow.

I will never forgive Favre for stealing all the attention from one of the greatest defensive coordinators the league has ever seen.
RIP JJ, you will be dearly missed.
