Did Bud Adams flick both fingers up to show his displeasure with CJ1.2K?

He got the cash and keeps talking trash, only now about his own teammates. Not exactly the way to lead, Christine.

Who’s better: Chris Johnson or Shawn Greene? I’ll take Greene, he’s cheaper and keeps his trap shut.

It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that a 1-4 team like the titans is not all that spectacular. What’s stunning to me given the 4 losses is that they were able to beat the lions at all. They have the worst defense in the league, giving up about 36 points per game. Combine that with a pedestrian offense scoring only 17 and you can’t expect to win many games. A lot has been made about chris johnson’s effectiveness (or lack thereof) on this website, but it’s pretty hard to run when: 1) your offensive line cannot generate any push whatsoever in the run game; 2) your quarterbacks are either too inexperienced or way past their prime; and 3) your OC is pretty lousy. Granted, they had a tough start to the season (patriots, chargers, lions, texans, vikings), but in their losses they haven’t even been close to competitive. Many of those offensive points have come in garbage time when the game was virtually over.

With the Chris Johnson situation, he probably needs to be traded. I think he could go on to have a successful career on another team and everyone would quickly forget about his ‘ineffectiveness’ on the titans. Right now, though, the coaches are losing the locker room and cj is becoming a more toxic version of himself. At this point, I’m not confident they can beat the jags or colts.

Chris, you’ve told everyone for years that you’re faster than Usain Bolt (despite an only moderately successful track career yourself). Why not just quit football and shoot for the next Olympics?
Then, you’d be a legend in your own mind in TWO sports… and ultimately a failure at both.

Your 4 worst career rushing games have come against Pit, so I can see you asking for someone else to pick it up.

Do your job you get paid to do and shut it.

A lot if the blame should go to Johnson….at the same time if your getting hit a yard behind the line every time, then a lot of the blame does have to go to the line… also the qb can audible out of the run play when he sees them stacking the line…. overall it’s just a bad offense…. Not just CJ2K!!!!

@jimfix — “like him or not Vince was a consistant winner…”

really? because he was in tennessee for five years and they only had a winning record twice. and one of those years he didn’t start a game.

========================

Yeah, cause a 30-17 record as a starter TOTALLY sucks…

Wait – what??

i like how this article is just trying to add more problems with the titans, like when you read the title of it you think wow a player shouldnt say that about his own team but when you actually read the article the author mixed johnsons words around to make it aound like he was talking bad about his team. typical media

Quick questions for those that know about the Titans, 1. Does Munchak really know how to be a winning head coach.
2. Does the OL really open up holes for the run ?
3. Does Roos and Stewart really care about CJ.
4. Does the OC really have a clue.
5. Titans have zero leadership to be more than 7-9 this year.

I’m still available as GM. Hire me and I’ll get you the players you need to win, or don’t complain. You signed the contract with the GM and players in place, and if you want to improve the situation then talk to the powers that be and encourage them to make a change for the better.

Just another reason to start paying these ‘professional’ athletes a lot less money. Teams should start paying for character, as well as talent. There should be ‘character clauses’ in all NFL player contracts and if they can’t keep their mouths shut or act like they have some class, they don’t get paid. It’s a team sport and he is not being a team player.

That’s why he gets paid the big bucks? To tell his team they are no good? Maybe if he was a good TEAM player… But he’s not even close. He’s just another overpaid and overrated athlete that can’t keep his mouth shut. Bench him for a few games and then trade him to the ‘Jects.

Adrian is hands-down better with a rebuilt knee, bum ankle and a fat contract. Apparently CJ’s fat contract is weighing him down physically and mentally. Don’t forget that this is also the dude wants to race Bolt… and says he can win.

Having a featured running back eating up a huge portion of your cap while averaging about 25 yards a game doesn’t strike him as being at least PART of the problem?

The production of Deangello Williams, Jonanthan Stewart, and Chris Johnson will cost many other RB’s big money when their contracts expire over the next few years

A RB is only as good as his offensive line. CJ’s O-line is the worst I have ever seen. They can’t do anything until that line is fixed.

Not taking sides but the title would suggest that he was more blunt than he really was in his quote.

That being said Chris Johnson just needs to stop saying questionable statements and just work on getting better. The blocking for him may not be a good as it can be, but what about when he is trying to get a touch down run on plays he should stop dilly dallying around?

Chris Johnson is a one-trick pony that had one good season and got paid for it. Hopefully, the Titans will use their next first round pick selecting a running back that performs more than talks.

“We need somebody in this locker room to make plays and give us a spark,” Johnson said”

Ummm….. that would be YOU, the guy they’re paying mega-bucks to, CJ

28 yards a game is laughable. Embarrassing, even.

“Speechless, I must say when you get paid everything else goes out the window..Guess that is a business decision.”

Not every running back does the cash and grab. Marshawn Lynch for example, he came to Seattle and earned his paycheck and now that he has it he is working even harder for each yard. When our front line can’t open holes for him, he makes his own. That’s what good running backs do. Chris Johnson doesn’t even compare. If the offensive line is such a big part of the equation then they should be the ones offered big money incentives.

Titans need to cut CJnoK.

Could you imagine Jay Cutler and Chris Johnson on the same team ???? WOW, that would be a WHOLE lot a finger pointing going on with those 2 on the same team.

How’s that Jeff Fisher thing working out Titans. Just follow the draft and it is obvious Titan’s have wasted opportunity.

I blame the Titans management for giving this guy with no character that huge contract. Just about everyone knew but the Titans that CJ1/2K would be worthless after he got his cash. Shame on them. They deserve it. Its like the old joke about the guy asking the snake if he planned on biting him and the snake says no. The guy pets the snake and the snake bites him. The guy says you promised you wouldnt bite me and the snake answers “what did you expect Im a snake”.
