Thread: Champ vs Calvin Johnson

Pressure definitely would be our secondaries best friend and if Stafford plays hurt...It may rush him some. I believe Champ can hang with Megatron. I don't believe he will shut him out but he can limit him. Champ has a habit of not giving up many touchdowns. He needs to keep Johnson out of the end zone. Will he?

Last year he shut out Bowe and Fitzgerald. As long as the ball is not just thrown up high for Johnson, Champ can make a play on ball like usual. But if he has to fight for the ball Johnson will win.

Here is an interview with Champ about this very thing. As always, Champ is as cool as the other side of the pillow...

Of course. I'm sure I stole it from somewhere...

I just hope Allen doesn't try to outsmart himself and try Champ at Nickel this week. Put him on Megatron and keep him there.

That is the question. I too am hoping Champ mans up on Johnson all game. I don't have a clue what Allen is going to do. Who covers Megatron if Champ doesn't?... I'm going with no one.

Honestly, I think we've reverted to that since the Cassius Vaughn debacle. The last two games, Champ has covered the #1 guy and Wilhite, and then Harris in the Miami game, lined up in the nickle.

I think Vaughn's speed was the reason he started out as the #3 CB, but since his coverage skills need improvement, it looks as if he's been demoted to #4 or #5.

I thought Harris played pretty well.

Jonathan Wilhite of course!

Calvin doesn't catch very many passes in the first half. So I expect to see Johnson have 0 catches in the first. Fans around here will cheer that Champ is shutting him down, and then we'll see Calvin step up in the second.

For some reason, the Lions don't target Johnson in the first half of games. I mean, sometimes it's literally 0 pass targets.

I don't care if Johnson has 100 yards and 2 TDs as long as we win. Stats don't mean much unless you're big into fantasy football.

I would be thrilled if Johnson has no pass targets at halftime. I guess I'd better be locked-in, in the second half. Champ better be all game.
