Eagles' coach Johnson dies of cancer: Jim Johnson, who is credited with building an Eagles' defense which became on of the best in the NFL is recent seasons, died at age 68 from cancer.
Though I never liked the Eagles, I admired this guy for his blue-collar mentality and toughness. He brought pressure every play and you never knew when it would come from... safety blitz, corner blitz, lb blitz,,,,,,
I have always been a Cowboy's Homer, and I believe it it weren't for him that Troy would've had at least two - three more years in the NFL....
He will be SORELY missed..... God Bless

Tough guy, tough coach, and one hell of a defensive mind. Sent nearly 30 players to the Pro Bowl in his career. What a loss.
