“How many times have we seen this?
I can’t remember the last time a player held out for significant time, got his contract and then came in and performed up to it. Seriously… since when?”

Darrelle Revis held out for a contract last year and last I checked he is pretty good.

Ringer seems to see these holes.. For a sub par back up running back I think his numbers are better than our top RB..

The run game is whats killing the Titans from really being a play off team.. All other parts seem to be working well.. #8 is looking pretty good..

Alexander was already old when he got his big contract, then brain dead Timmy NoSkill let Hutch walk, other O-line guys retired, and Timmy Noskill hadn’t satisfactorliy addressed the O-line leaving some BAD players to trot out on the field.
I was a huge critic of SA’s fall down to avoid being hit, dance behind the line THEN fall down runing style. BUT, he played with broken bones and other injuries after his big payday. The O-line went in the crapper and he was too old to do it on his own. His production sucked, giving him the big contract was stupid, but SA didn’t screw the Hawks the way CJwon’tplay is screwing the Titans.

CJ has always been dependent on his offensive line to at least make some sort of crease for him to run through, but there’s NOTHING.

Anyone who watched the game yesterday (and I know everyone outside of Titans and Colts fans wouldn’t watch that mess) saw Solomon Wilcots breaking it down.. CJ’s running style this year isn’t any different than it was his first 3 years. He’s always been a patient runner who stops and cuts after receiving the carry and then hits the hole. However, that doesn’t work when Eugene Amano, Leroy Harris, and Jake Scott are watching the defenders they’re supposed to be blocking gang tackling CJ a half second after the ball is snapped. He’s been able to make the first guy miss plenty of times.. but when there’s a 2nd and 3rd guy there to wrap him up, it doesn’t mean a thing.

But in an era where people care more about watching their fantasy football scores than the actual game, I can’t say I’m surprised CJ is getting painted as that guy who took the money and quit. Call me biased or whatever, but if Ringer is really going to start splitting time throughout the entire game, I’m telling you right now that Ringer won’t be getting 3 YPC either. It’s not possible to run behind that joke of an offensive line.

What shocked me most is how hard the announcers for the game we trying repeatedly to claim that it wasnt chris johnson’s fault at all. It was the O-line, or a new offense or the playcalling or anything else, but Johnson. They even went so far as to say Johnson’s numbers and Ringer’s numbers were pretty much the same for the game, so that proved their point about it not being Johnson’s fault.
At one point they said the problem was that Johnson wasn’t getting enough touches. 15 wasn’t enough, he needed 20-25. I remember thinking “are these guys his agents or what?”
How is 14 carries 60 yds and 14 carries 34 yds the same? I’ll let you guess which one was Chris Johnsons stat line.

He’s still an athlete and having Ringer, Hall, and CJ on the field at the same time would create matchup problems.

Every GM/owner should make a list of these hold out happy players and wave it in front of anyone trying to pull the same move. How is the team held hostage every time, only to cave to pressure from the media and the fans? Ridiculous.

He’s not blazing fast or bruising but productive, hard working, plays with heart, and do whatever his team needs. CJ needs to learn from his team mate before he ruins big pay days for runningbacks in the NFL.

C.J. is just flat out stealing a check each week. He Shaun Alexandered the Titans and I saw it coming a mile away. Cut Mr. Ghetto as soon as you can

Off the top of my head, Javon Walker. DeAngelo Williams was awful, too. There’s more I’m forgetting.
