Here's Coolong's take on Johnson not making the practice squad ...

Quote :

Despite calls for QB Jerrod Johnson's addition to the Practice Squad, NFL teams don't typically keep quarterbacks there, as it typically means they have four quarterbacks. When you have an alpha-starter like Roethlisberger, the snaps to take in practice are already scarce for the back-ups. Going from three to four in that regard would serve only to take snaps away from the top three quarterbacks.

A wiser course of action would simply to be to tell him to stay in shape and stay by the phone.

Very surprised Corbin Bryant didn't get a roster spot. I'd say he's just as needed as Cromartie-Smith.
