[CBFF] Tank Johnson gets 8 games

[Victor Waldron]

Don't get me wrong, Rivers is good but he's not the type of guy who's
going to beat you (especially with the WR corps he has). Find a way to
reasonably take way LT and Gates and it makes for a very winnable
game. I understand many others have tried (and failed) but I think we
have the D to cause them some fits.
