Is there anything more exciting than scouting Washington Redskins’ quarterback Josh Johnson? The fourth player to take snaps under center for Washington, Johnson is now on his twelfth team since entering the NFL. He couldn’t possibly threaten the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles, right? Right?!
The answer is likely no, but there’s a lesson to be learned from his recent performance against the Tennessee Titans. Redskins’ head coach Jay Gruden infused the playbook with play-action concepts (30%) which catered to Johnson’s strengths while also showing stubbornness in refusing to reel in his playbook.
