Dallas was not patience in going for the short passes that we were giving them. We dropped a lot of our guys in coverage and didn't do much blitzing. Johnson had a specific task and executed his assignment very well.
However, I did pick up the fact that he was playing very hesitant and had he been playing against a much better receiver as opposed to Terrance Williams, he would have gotten eaten up alive IMO. I'm not bashing his performance but I don't think he showed great instincts, he wasn't able to get off his back pedal as fast as I would have liked. By the way I liked all of our DBs that we had drafted in May - all of us did if I remember correctly. From the onset I suspected that at least 2 of them (between Acker, Reaser, and Johnson) would eventually become starters for us within 3 years time. What happened to Reaser? Is he injured? Or was that Acker?
I thought he did respectable considering the circumstances, Bingo. Albeit, he was beat for a TD later in the game, although the defense did play off during the final moments of the game.
The better competition is on the way, and although the Niners did admirable against Dallas' offense, a better offensive unit should give a better litmus test for the defense.
The thing I noticed about the TD he gave up was he tried to go around the pick Dallas was running, and that cost him. Had he simply run into the slot receiver it likely would have drawn a flag for OPI.
