    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Childress likes the potential of Marcus Johnson, a second-round draft choice last year. "You know what happened? They moved him from guard to tackle to guard to tackle to guard to tackle. It's hard playing two positions as a rookie," Childress said. "... I just think leaving Marcus there at right tackle, letting him grow in that position, would be good for him." He compared Johnson's situation to that of Reggie Brown, a second-round draft pick of the Eagles last year. "I thought the best thing we did down in Philadelphia was we left him as a 'Z' receiver and didn't make him play anything else," Childress said. Brown played in all 16 games, starting 11, and caught 43 passes for 571 yards and four touchdowns.http://www.startribune.com/507/story/317400.html</div>
