No matter the form of the defense in front of him, Johnson remains one of the premier shot-stoppers in MLS, a league which isn't exactly short on keepers capable of the flashy bail-out save ... long arms and explosiveness allow him to get to shots that seem to have him beat ... that said, still is a guy who needs that cat-like quickness to bail out his sometimes-shaky positioning ... has grown as a leader, but the constantly-shifting and consistently terrible defenses in front of him seem to have stalled his mental progress ... his distribution is not as scattershot as it was when he was suddenly anointed as a rookie in 2010, but remains a weakness .
