Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Washington Commanders have hired former New York Giants offensive line coach Bobby Johnson for the same role, the NFL Network reported Monday.

The Giants fired Johnson, 50, at the end of the 2023 regular season, when the offensive line allowed 85 sacks, the second most in NFL history since the league tracked the statistic.

Johnson had followed Giants head coach Brian Daboll to New York in 2022 after they worked together on the Buffalo Bills staff from 2019-21, with Johnson as the OL coach.

Johnson’s NFL experience includes a first stint with the Bills from 2010-11 as assistant OL coach and time in the league a tight ends coach and/or assistant OL coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2012), Detroit Lions (2013-14), Oakland Raiders (2015-17) and Indianapolis Colts (2018).

The Giants replaced Johnson with former Las Vegas Raiders OL coach Carmen Bricillo on Jan. 11. Johnson replaces Travelle Wharton in Washington.

Giants OL coach ‘remorseful’ for pushing player in brawl

Posted on | by Field Level Media

New York Giants offensive line coach Bobby Johnson expressed regret Tuesday for pushing linebacker Cam Brown during a brawl at practice Monday.

According to reports from Giants camp in East Rutherford, N.J., Johnson entered a fracas at Monday’s practice to push Brown off center Jon Feliciano as he tried to drag Feliciano out of a melee. It triggered Feliciano into throwing a punch toward Brown.

“The incident (Monday), I take full responsibility,” Johnson said Tuesday. “I’m remorseful. It can’t happen. It won’t happen again.”

Johnson is in his first season as the Giants’ offensive line coach. He spent the past three seasons in the same role with the Buffalo Bills and followed Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to New York when Daboll accepted the Giants’ head coaching position.

Brown is entering his third season in the NFL, all with the Giants. New York selected him in the sixth round of the 2020 draft. He has 21 tackles and a forced fumble across 27 career games. Feliciano, 30, has seven seasons of NFL experience, playing 34 games (31 starts) with the Bills over the past three seasons.
