C.J. Gardner-Johnson is becoming a serious problem for the Buffalo Bills! After being ejected against the Las Vegas Raiders and receiving a one-game NFL suspension, questions are growing about whether the veteran safety deserves to remain a starter in Jim Leonhard's defense. The Buffalo Bills are 5-1, but their secondary continues to struggle with missed tackles, coverage breakdowns and communication problems. And Gardner-Johnson's latest disciplinary issue only makes things more complicated. On today's Bills HIT, we break down Gardner-Johnson's suspension, his disappointing defensive performance and the difficult decision facing head coach Joe Brady. Gardner-Johnson was ejected after spitting toward Raiders tight end Brock Bowers. The NFL subsequently suspended him for Buffalo's upcoming matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. He apologized following the incident, and Brady confirmed that the team addressed the situation internally without planning additional punishment. But should that be the end of the conversation? Gardner-Johnson was brought to Buffalo to provide toughness, leadership and championship experience to a secondary undergoing significant changes. Instead, his performance has raised concerns. According to Pro Football Focus figures discussed on the show, Gardner-Johnson has accumulated 11 missed tackles through six games, while coverage and communication issues have also contributed to Buffalo's defensive struggles. We examine whether the Bills should reconsider his starting role once his suspension ends. Damar Hamlin has shown encouraging signs, while Jalen Kilgore delivered an important third-down pass breakup against Las Vegas. Could either player earn a larger role moving forward? And with Tre'Davious White returning to Buffalo, could the Bills be preparing to rely on a different veteran presence in their secondary? Joe Brady has made it clear that Gardner-Johnson remains part of the team. But remaining on the roster and deserving a starting job are two different conversations. Should Buffalo BENCH C.J. Gardner-Johnson when he returns, or does he deserve another opportunity? #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #CJGardnerJohnson Photo Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
