this is a minor observation but I don't know where else to put it, driving around before the game listened to 'flames strategy' or whatever it is called where Derek Wills interviews a flame prior to the game, and he was interviewing Johnny
it was full of the usual pregame questions, including a lot of praise thrown Johnny and the team's way. Now normally I find (and this is not a critique of him, its true of >90% of players) Johnny's answers to be as generic as the questions themselves- but I found him this time to be a bit more thoughtful and reflective of his own play but also the team- some of that is likely just a reflection of maturation, he's in his late 20s after all now, but also felt like maybe there was a recognition or embracing of a new way of playing the game
I don't know like I say it was a puff interview shouldn't over interpret but I remember noting this before the game, and then to see the team (and 13s line) go out and do what they did...
