While he called the team’s performance “exceedingly frustrating,” Johnson praised Gase for keeping the team united and fighting through injuries.Johnson also expressed confidence in general manager Joe Douglas, who was hired in June. The team was criticized by some experts for firing former general manager Mike Maccagnan at the end of the offseason, after they had hired Gase as head coach and gone through the NFL Draft and free agency.
