AJ Johnson Appreciation Thread

[TlM]

Kid is a monster and played like a man possessed tonight. He, alone deserved better from his coaches and some teammates.

 

[Dooby15]

Agreed

 

[Volspilot]

Agree
He was one of the few players tonight playing like they belonged and giving it his all. Trus VFL

 

[DocVOLiday]

I'm in. He's fun to watch and Is great for the program

 

[BuckheadVol1]

Agree, loved the heart he showed tonight.

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

Whole heartedly agree.

 

[McDad]

Agreed. Wasn't that him tackling gillislie in the third quarter when he latched on and threw him down?

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

Agree 100%

 

[TennesseeOrange]

I'm proud of the kid.

 

[PowerT83]

We found what we need in goal line situations. Easily my favorite player on defense, I would say the team but CP is still the truth.

 

[ReelfootVol]

I really think for the most part the veteran players gave their all until about 4 min into the third quarter. The two long 80 yard runs by Florida kinda shell shocked us. We kinda threw up our hands after that. I was very pleased until the two long runs.

Fitting he had such a good night when the number 45 was offically retired in honor of Johnny Majors.

 

[volstopfan14]

AJ played great tonight. Was really cool to see him score a touchdown.

 

[SickEmSmokey14]

The Beast played awesome tonight. Wish our whole team had his intensity.

I think AJ is getting too much love. He played a solid game, flashed a couple of times, but he was better on offense than he was on defense tonight. Go re-watch that devastating Trey Burton run and watch how he collapses down inside on his block, loses his outside contain, and allows Burton to turn the corner. One horrible angle by Marsalis Teague later and we're down 27-20. He got sucked in on the read option MULTIPLE times. Running downhill, on the other hand, he's a monster. He'll get better, but he's still got a lot of work to do IMO.

Great thread needs bump, bump.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

Volled so hard. And he is a young player. Great game kid.

 

[RockyTopForMe]

He was one that I seen didn't quit, he was a 100% VFL.

For him alone, it really sucked to see others quit, the coaching, and the fans leaving. We need more kids with his heart.

 

[SkittyD]

He had a good game , can't say that our D played great.

 

[Patmo]

Beast. Didn't some people think he was too slow to play in the SEC? Or was that someone else?

 

[OrangeByBirth]

I missed this thread earlier. http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-football/169977-45.html#post7237274

 

[ericberry4heisman]

His 3rd down tackle (or body slam) on the HB screen was insane.

Kid is a monster and played like a man possessed tonight. He, alone deserved better from his coaches and some teammates.

If all our players had the same athletic ability and heart as A.J. NOBODY could beat us! Kid is awesome and I'm glad he is a Vol!

 

[northknoxvol]

I loved his play last night. Especially the inclusion in the offense. Wonder if he can throw the ball. How epic would that be if he threw a pass out of that look!

 

[chattavol420]

Hell ya! I think he was the best player for either team yesterday. Unfortunately I think we had the worst also...teague
