Deadlydread Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 dont worry We'll beat the falcons 2-0 again this year :p And Decent? definately smack talk from a Falcons fan heheh :p Now that Stephen Davis is gone, and we have a new center, Deshawn can really shine. Who will be his backup is the question tho. I vote Nick Goings. Best part about them getting Keyshawn from the article. Originally the top overall selection in the 1996 NFL Draft, Johnson spent the first four years of his career with the New York Jets, where he played for current Panthers offensive coordinator Dan Henning from 1998-1999. He earned trips to the Pro Bowl following both seasons with 83 catches for 1,131 yards and career-high 10 touchdowns in 1998 and 89 receptions for 1,170 yards and eight touchdowns in 1999.
