This is why they should get paid amounts based on their productivity.

Munchak s trying to preserve some sense of team unity by making these comments. Unfortunately he just dissed his O line (none of these guys can block well enough to fire up the run game OR protect the QB), his QB (Hasselbeck is a statue who needs TIME to find his mediocre receivers) and his “star” RB (all kinds of changes won’t get CJ.5k more than 20 additional yards per game). Clearly Munch has seen enough to know that CJ is running like a frightened little girl, but to call him out before Bud comes to that conclusion might mean that Munch is a one-year head coach.

Anyone notice Munchak said he wasn’t willing to trade three to four sacks a game for twenty or so more yards for CJ? 20 yards? In other words, CJ is about 80 yards behind his pace and even if we get him the world’s greatest line, we might get 20 of that back.

In other words CJ, Munchak called you out. It isn’t the line. It’s you.

I agree, A.P. appears to have developed a an immunity to JGP, there is hope out there. I plan on setting up a 5K so we can run for the cure, because if we don’t Chris Johnson won’t run that amount for the rest of his career.

A.P. says to take your JGP and shove it. He still runs like an absolute beast with a depleted OL. Que Vikes/Packers game on Sunday. Longevity may be an issue here…hopefully he can maintain form long enough for Ponder to figure it all out, along with the rest of the Vikes. But it is a privilege to see him carry the ball, regardless of how much he is getting paid

As a Seahawks fan, I’m glad Matt Hasslebeck is doing well in Tennessee but the coach basically just said that Matt’s aging butt injury is more important than Chris Johnson’s numbers.

I wonder if Chris Johnson has Shawn Alexander’s phone number.

Somewhere, Jeff Fisher is laughing his ass off, while Munchak offers excuses but obviously has no answers. Anyone who knows coaching knows if you’re going to improve rushing with no personnel changes, you have to change your overall offensive scheme. What didn’t work yesterday isn’t going to work tomorrow either after your tendencies are broken down on film. That’s O-101. Spread the field with your WR’s and establish the TE position as a threat with more than 2-3 throws a game. Even a few incompletions downfield will keep defenses from totally stacking the box. Johnson hasn’t done himself any favors AT ALL this year, but if you’ve watched the games, there are no holes. Except the one wearing the Head Coach’s jacket.

It’s very simple. Chris Johnson is suffering from “Just Got Paid” syndrome. It’s a terrible illness. Many of you might remember that Albert Haynesworth suffered from the disease as well. We must raise awareness for JGP because it is very infectious. It mostly causes players to become irrelevant within 1-2 years. One of the side effects of JGP is that the players that suffer from the disease lose the ability to take responsibility for their actions and often blame teammates, coaches, etc. for their ineffectiveness. If you believe that you may be suffering from JGP, please see your physician immediately. JGP can be treated with a swift kick in the A*# and some humility. Successful treatment may lead to higher yards per carry, touchdowns and my fantasy team not being F@#$ed on a weekly basis.

Hey future RB’s.

CJ is the reason you most likely won’t get “playmaker money” anymore.

Bill Belichick would have traded him in the offseason for draft picks—-something the Titans will need more of. But it’s too late for that now.

I understand not switching up the O-line, but why not switch rb’s see if that helps?
I guess if they did that and Ringer ran for 125 yds and a td the team would look like buffoons for paying C Johnson.

Well I am not Mike Munchak and I WILL be making changes to my fantasy team. CJ, I hate you, and you owe me $50 for tanking it this season.

CJ2k is much more tentative than he was in the past. He’s not trying to preserve himself…I think he’s getting soft.

He pulled a spin move during this last game that looked like he was doing it in slow motion. Dude always had a character issue, and now that he’s set for life, he probably doesn’t care about anything…especially his fantasy owners

Then nothing will change. Titans will be behind the Dolphins and Reggie Bush in the running game. Hahaha.
I’m sure CJ no K will just start running better just because he’s not the problem.

Chris Johnson is an idiot. Great players find a way to be great no matter what the obstacle. By him saying his horrible stats aren’t his fault is the lamest thing I’ve ever seen. The Titans should bench him and re-structure his contract to reflect his productivity, or lack thereof. Complete BUST.
