Last week: 25 (+7)
Record: 1-2
There’s the Titan team I put in the playoffs at the beginning of the season. Jake Locker looked much more comfortable with Nate Washington and Kenny Britt at full strength, going 29 of 42 for 278 yards and 2 touchdowns, although part of that might be Detroit’s crappy secondary. The Titans do rank 18th in yards per play differential, but I’m not putting them back in the playoffs or anything yet. Chris Johnson is still hilariously bad, even against the type of poor run defense he would have gashed last season, and the young defense is still missing Cortland Finnegan and Colin McCarthy, though the latter is expected back from injury some time soon.

It’s 2012 and the Tennessee Titans need to finally trade Chris Johnson or better known in 2012 as CJ2 yards per carry to another team soon. It’s not based on the fact he has only rushed for 45 yards on 33 carries for a grand total of 1.4 yards per carry or his drop in production from the year he rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009. It’s based on what the future of this Tennessee...
