    I know I have. When I realized Joe Johnson logged 32 minutes Tuesday night against Orlando, I cringed. Why so many minutes for a guy who is clearly going to be counted on to deliver much more important half hour stretches for the next seven months?

    But Johnson assured me that he?s fine. And that he?s taking the necessary precautions to preserve his energy and his body during training camp and this preseason. So if he?s not worried, and Dennis Green isn?t hollering anymore, I?ll stop worrying.</div>
