Maybe they didn't want Johnson to get dinged up in the first half knowing that Marshall was out.

Except that Marshall wasn't "out". Gus said after the game that Marshall's punishment was not STARTING and they were fully prepared to put him in the game at any time, they just kept on going with the hot hand (Johnson) because there was no reason not to.
