This is a personality that even Todd Haley couldn’t control. You know, this Todd Haley And this Todd Haley.When’s the last time Jim Zorn’s talked that tough Hold on, let me think (feel free to get lunch, head to the mall, road trip across country) Hmmm. He hasn’t.Who knows, maybe Johnson will thrive under a softer, gentler coach No wait, he couldn’t mesh with Dick Vermeil either So he chafes at nice and bristles at angry. Good thing Jay-Z’s slogan is “stay medium.” While that explains last season’s 8-8, I doubt it will have a profound affect on Johnson.Johnson is a terrible idea, no matter how talented he is. Look, how’s he supposed to run here With Mike Williams injured, the Redskins may not even have five offensive linemen next week.So how is a disgruntled running back, a line that can’t open holes, and a coach as intimidating as a squirrel a good fit Sounds like the only thing LJ will run roughshod over is this team.But this team already has enough malcontents. We're lacking a lot of stuff right now.”Yes, the Redskins are lacking a lot of stuff right now. 
It’s called salary cap space thanks to your $100 million deal.The Redskins don’t need another bad attitude. And just as important, they don’t need another castoff running back. They don’t do well in Washington either.Anyone remember Shaun Alexander’s illustrious career here Come on, how could you forget 11 carries for 24 yardsOr T.J. Terrible stats for a running back, astronomically good when it comes to the Redskins.Oh, and what about Ki-Jana Carter. Yes, the past-his-prime, ACL-lacking, former first overall pick cranked out 308 yards in 63 attempts. Put his name in the Ring of Fame.In the past eight years, the Redskins have brought in former 1st, 18th and 19th overall picks to pound it between the tackles And they’ve combined to rush for 467 yards Total. To say it another way, Dan Snyder’s about as good as grabbing free agent running backs as dead men are at walking Or talking.

Or cycling.Johnson was the 27th overall pick in 2003, and admittedly, right now, he’s better than any of those were when they came to town But that doesn’t matter. There’s one position you absolutely, never ever want to get old at, and it’s running back. And the quartet the Redskins have now: Portis, Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, and Mike Sellers have all been in the league eight years or more. That’s insane a team would be that old at a position that takes the most abuse in sports.Johnson’s in his seventh season He’s not young and spry either. I can’t say if he’s on the downside of his career, but based on every single fact known about NFL running backs, the odds are not in his favor.So Johnson’s a locker room cancer, an awful person outside of football, the Redskins have never had success bringing in a castaway running back, and he’s either past his prime or nearing the beginning of the end.What’s that add up to With this team Probably four years and $42 million.God I hate this team.? ? .
