Dennis Allen believes C.J. Gardner-Johnson can bring ‘attitude’ to Chicago Bears defense
The Chicago Bears made a move this week to help boost the secondary. A secondary that was hit hard with injuries following the Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
And it’s a familiar face.
Chicago brought in defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a player who spent three seasons under Dennis Allen with the New Orleans Saints. He also spent a year in Detroit where Ben Johnson was the offensive coordinator. With Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon on Injured Reserve, the Bears needed some depth in that secondary.
Gardner-Johnson figures to play inside, working in the slot until Gordon can come back. Allen also believes he can bring a certain style to this defense.
Dennis Allen thinks C.J. Gardner-Johnson can bring an ‘attitude’ to defense
Over the course of his career, C.J. Gardner-Johnson has toed the line of being aggressive and getting into opponents heads and doing too much and drawing penalties. The Bears saw it first hand, twice in the 2020 season.
But now that he’s in Chicago, Allen is confident Gardner-Johnson will be able to play aggressive and bring a much-needed attitude to the defense:
“Look, I mean, I think he’s a highly competitive player, and I think he goes out there and competes on every single play,” Allen said on Thursday. “And so, that’s fully what I would expect for him to do with us. So, I think he brings a little attitude to the football team, which I think is good.”
Bringing a little attitude to a football team isn’t the worst thing, as long as he can keep it from getting out of control. Gardner-Johnson is motivated too.
He’s on his third team this season after a stint with the Houston Texans and then one with the Baltimore Ravens practice squad.
Here in Chicago, he has familiarity and a locker room of veterans to help out. That could go a long way in Gardner-Johnson’s time in Chicago and the impact he could make.
