Pixote Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 One of the greatest DCs of all time died of cancer. Jim Johnson in Philadelphia was an outstanding DC who will be missed by all who loved watching his agressive defensive style. Now that Kippen has retired in TBB and J Johnson has passed away, the NFL will be without 2 Defensive Coordinators who should both be in the HOF for their accomplishments. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/NewsStory18048.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 One of the best, I was always amazed at how the Eagles always had a defense you worried about, even if they weren't statistically at the top. You always knew they weren't going to quit bringing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Johnson defenses were always fun to watch, except when the Bears were playing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
