What Johnston said was similar to what he told the Dallas Morning News last year after the Cowboys hired Woicik. “I think he’s one of the big secrets of the offseason,” Johnston said. “They’ll be bigger. They’ll be faster. They’ll be stronger. There will be less injuries. I think it’s a huge move. And nobody is going to talk about it much.
