He's playing linebacker basically. Teams just have his number now.
Johnson apparently can't play SS .
Rams probably have two FS 's .
One of which is a hybrid LB at 5-9 ,185.
Tough to go a whole game without being exposed in run game or at TE which has to be a cover by committee thing .
We know Joyner has heart but he almost has be a Savage Savant to Survive out there . I mean a perfect read and flexibility to diagnose and rove as well as line up very well presnap to play then match up to whoever and make play.
He may be best skittering around and attacking at large than having a zone or acific area of responsibility were the OC can pick on him .
Remember another thing . Joyner made a lot of plays last couple of years were Cody Davis was playing deep and Joyner was playing how the Rams are using Marquis Christian.
So we actually lost quality or usage in two spots.
