Surprised to see a number of Johnny just has to fight through it type comments regarding the team protecting him better. First, I do think he has been good fighting through the rough stuff--he doesn't whine, he picks himself up, he doesn't dive. But, the point is that it will effect his game, and possibly his longevity, if he doesn't get better team protection. This kid may be a franchise player and the team needs to start acting like he is and responding, wisely when the game is tight but unwisely as well to start sending the message that JH will be protected.
