30 touches great - until it isn't - for Arizona Cardinal David Johnson

When it sounds almost too good to be true, it usually is. Meaning, of course, it’s not. Unless it is.

Take, for instance, Bruce Arians’ pronouncement that he wants David Johnson to get 30 touches a game for the Cardinals this coming season. On the surface, this sounds like a completely wonderful idea. Johnson is unlike any other running back in the NFL and he seems perfectly built for the extra workload.

He’s big, but he’s deceptively fast. He’s a pounder between the tackles, yet can bounce off a linebacker, spin out of the arms of a safety and take it to the house.
