Andre Johnson

[nunusguy]

AJ would appear to be the only "cause celebre" on the whole team, and he hasn't played a snap, been on the field for how long, 6 games ?

Time to bring this thread back to the front as it looks like we will be seeing him this weekend.

Fun story in the chronicle by Megan Manfull this morning

Andre Johnson felt uncomfortable before practice Thursday, but fortunately it had nothing to do with his knee. Johnson, who will start this week, was hurting because of a bet he lost to Matt Schaub.


Schaub bet Johnson that if Virginia beat Johnson's Miami Hurricanes last Saturday, Johnson would have to wear Cavaliers gear. If the Hurricanes won, Schaub would don Hurricanes clothes all week.

Virginia won 48-0, and on Thursday, Johnson wore a Virginia T-shirt and sweatpants — one of many pieces of clothing Schaub gave him.

"It's very bothersome," Johnson said. "I don't feel comfortable in it. I hate coming in here putting this on every morning.

"Every time I walk in the cafeteria every morning all the guys are like, 'Hey man, how long do you have to wear it?' And I tell them a week every day, and they're going to ask me the same question over and over."

Welcome back Andre

I never really appreciated his true impact until i saw what our offense was without him.

I think we accomplished that. He’s the heart and soul of this franchise, not just this team. That’s what he means to everybody. To you guys, to me, the locker room. We all know that. He’s fought the good fight for a long, long time, so it was good to see him play well today.”

They announced to offense yesterday at the stadium, the announcer does the first name and the crowd is supposed to yell the last name. We were basically just screaming when Andre came out. I don't think anyone bothered to yell Johnson - it was a great welcome back celebration.

I think I could hear you clear to Pasadena if it weren't for I-45.

I'm not a big fan of the announcer saying the first name and the fans saying the last name....It usually sounds pretty week to me. I think it should be both the announcer and fans say their whole names together.

This is a guy who if you prorate what he has done over a whole season. (Fair to do IMO) He is close to Moss and TO in tds. Those guys are out of their minds and he would be in the think of it with them. He makes everything ok. He was why our running game clicked yesterday. He alone opened up a few lanes. He would be an MVP canidate if he had been there all year. We would be at least 6-4 now, if not better. Hes a freak and Im so glad hes a Texan for the rest of his career.
