The Facts: Johnson has shown his value as a receiver over the years and should have a big part in the passing attack, but OL coach Sean Kugler said the team’s ground game will be a bigger part of the puzzle than some might think. “I think people are going to be surprised by the amount that we do run the ball; it’s a big part of this offense in addition to the screen game,” Kugler said.
Diehards Line:Given HC Kliff Kingsbury’s work on the college level, there's been considerable discussion about how he will move the pass-heavy concepts of the Air Raid system to the pros. And while Kugler said the staff is still working out what calls will work best for Johnson, the former Steelers assistant also said he expects to utilize “some of the one-back stuff we did in Pittsburgh with the power and counter and those types of things” as they try to get Johnson going. We'll be watching for more on that as the offseason unfolds.
