Jim Johnson

I like Jim Johnson. The former Defensive Coordinator for the Eagles the past 10 years passed away yesterday from cancer. One of the best in the league, no doubt, he helped form one of the finest and most ferocious defenses. There is no way the Eagles make it to as many NFC Championship games, let along the Super Bowl, without this man.

Here's hoping the Birds can win it all this year. The new guy at the helm of the defense learned from Johnson and is poised for great things as well. For more information on Johnson's career and life, here is a story from Philly.com.
