Jim Johnson Rookie Quotations

He's a rookie and makes a rookie mistake ... so we were a bit concerned. But we have to force ourselves to give him more time.

Jevon and N.D. played a lot of plays. They were tired. We need to get Trent Cole in more. Here's a rookie and he made a rookie mistake when he let Michael Vick outside, so we were concerned, but we've got to force ourselves to get him more time. We got to get more rest for ND and Jevon.

I think like any rookie he is still learning. I think (defensive line coach Tom Brasher) is doing a good job with him. It's going to take a little while. He's probably a better run player than a pass rusher right now. But he does give great penetration and great effort. It will come, but it's not there right now.
