Re: Bears waive troubled DT Tank Johnson

IMO, Gibbs will coach a guy that has problems if he thinks the guy has redeeming qualities. e.g. He never turned his back on D. Manley, despite DM saying stupid stuff to the press, getting busted for drugs, etc.

that said, there's a difference between having personal problems such as an addiction and being a true criminal. Granted that drugs are illegal as is driving drunk, but guys like Tank & Pacman seem not too bothered by criminal behavior, their own or others.

As individuals who are really young, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and let them mature, but for this season, I don't see Tank suddenly growing up. Yeah, he could mature a lot in the 8 game suspension, but he could also fall apart due to the lack of structure in his life that football gave him, get fat, out of shape or in trouble again. I'd be shocked if we signed this guy.
