Chris Johnson points fingers in Titans demise as he plays through personal tragedy

Via Players View  |  September 17, 2012
The Tennessee Titans were thought to be one of the dark horse candidates for a playoff spot in the AFC but so far after two weeks of play, they have proved only their critics right. Once a phenomenon, running back Chris Johnson continues to sputter out gaining just 21 yards over the first two games of the season. Yesterday, Johnson should have been tuned up for a big day with Kenny...

Chris Johnson takes a veiled swipe at the Titans offensive line

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  September 17, 2012
Chris Johnson has picked up right where he left off this season. Unfortunately for Titans fans and his fantasy owners, that is a very bad thing. Johnson had a down year in 2011 and vowed to bounce back with a vengeance in 2012. Unless carrying the ball 19 times for 21 yards is bouncing back, CJNoK is off to a brutal start. The main issue has been the Titans offensive line. Johnson...

Dear Chris Johnson: A Letter From A Fan Begging For Your Help

Via Football Nation  |  September 17, 2012
Dear Mr Johnson,When you were drafted to the Titans I was actually giddy.  After seeing your blazing time during the 40 yard dash at the combine I had goosebumps when I thought about what you might be able to do for the Titans during your career.  Flashes of Barry Sanders ran through my mind.  When the Titans' first round pick came around and you were still on the board, I...

What Is Good With Chris Johnson? Nothing. Absolutely, positively nothing. 21 yards in two games? Are you kidding me?
