00:00as time was going on so he gets a suspension there's also the buy and then the bills cut him
00:06finally after 16 days they finally cut him kudos to the bills but then there's the explanation that
00:13was coming out after the fact from the bills making it a point to tell whether it be national
00:18reporters local reporters in confirming that cj gardner johnson has been released to let these
00:24reporters know that it's not so much for the spitting but performance what first off keep
00:33your mouth shut and let people believe whatever they want to believe if it's the spitting if fans
00:37wanted him gone but what you're now saying is it's okay to spit it would have been okay to spit
00:45if
00:45he's a better player so hey guys if you're bet if you're as long as you come to play on
00:52sundays and
00:52whiff on tackles and don't commit 15 yard penalties in other ways or or or blow a coverage
01:02then you can spit but don't spit and also not be good enough because if damar hamlin can come in
01:11and take your spot or gino stone can come up from the practice squad and perform well enough and
01:17contribute then we're going to have to let you go it was just a strange bit of messaging
01:22that the bills needed to have out there i mean from a pr standpoint are like why is this in
01:28why is
01:29this emphasis important why do we need to let people know that we're not cutting him because
01:33of the spitting we're cutting him because of his performance and oh by the way all these people who
01:40came up on sunday and performed were already on the roster whether it be on the practice squad or the
01:4653 damar hamlin was already on the 53 right and johnson was ahead of all of them to cory couch
01:52had
01:52already been uh called up from the practice squad once gino stone was brought in over the off season
01:57to perhaps perform well enough i think they signed cj gardner johnson and and uh and gino stone to
02:03to be better than damar hamlin and here is damar hamlin still standing above both of these guys
02:08they've both been cut gino stone got cut at the end of training camp brought back on the practice
02:13squad cj gardner johnson's just been cut because of performance apparently that's what the bills
02:18want you to think meanwhile all these guys have been available while cj gardner johnson is starting
02:25every game and playing all the snaps until he gets ejected or needs to come off the field because
02:32he's he's banged up a little for a few plays he's out there all the time so what does it
02:38say
02:38about i guess your your ability to judge or evaluate your own players if he's getting cut
02:46after six starts not like well he and he's not even good enough to keep on the 53 anymore either
02:52now we talk about his volatility and maybe this guy doesn't play well as a backup versus being a
02:57starter but he goes from being your starter for six games to his performance not being good enough
03:04to remain on the roster and the people who have overtaken him on the roster
