Sad news in the NFL today. The long time defensive assistant of the Philadelphia Eagles, Jim Johnson, died of cancer today.
Johnson was known for his attacking defenses and was regarded as one of the best defensive minds in the NFL. His defense helped the Eagles to an appearance at one Super Bowl and 5 NFC titles. His defenses were rated consistently among the best including last year. The Eagles were third in total defense in 2008.
He will be missed, even by fans of his team's opponents.
