That's like the pot calling the kettle black when you consider the legal troubles of Sean Taylor just year before last. I do beleive there were gun charges there as well.

But no one expects "Pro Bowl" caliber performance from Tank Johnson. The guy has not taken a snap in football game since the Super Bowl last year.

But what he does bring is some much needed depth. Jason Fergeson was lost for the season in the very first game. The Cowboys moved Jay Ratliff from DE into the NT position, then they resigned Remi Ayodele, who had been released at training camp. Ratliff has taken most of the snaps but Remi has played a little as well. Remi is the brother of Cowboys LB Akin Ayodele.

Rookie FB Deon Anderson was placed on IR after a torn rotater cuff injury he got in the Eagles game. This made room for Tank. So now Dallas will have 3 NT's rotating in and out of games, helping keep the middle of that line rested throughout the game.

Ratliff has done very well, and now there is some depth at NT.
