And both guys were stuffed badly when given the ball in short yardage situations.

While I have no use for Kuhn or Hall either, I think the short yardage failure had more to do with our interior offensive line. I hated when McCarthy used the fullback in goaline. I don't know why he didn't use Rodgers sneaking or rolling out more. I think getting a blocking TE would help our short yardage more than this guy.

I agree that the offensive line has something to do with it and that a blocking tight end would help, but I've been hoping for an upgrade over Kuhn/Hall for a while and Johnson is a clear upgrade as a blocker, a runner, and on special teams.
