So long Jay Cutler

Mon, 16 Mar 2009 13:48:35 -0500

Mike Shanahan’s Cialis induced reaction for a strong armed passer from Vanderbilt ultimately cost him his job. The former Denver Bronco head coach was so enamored with Jay Cutler that he moved up in the draft to select the cocky quarterback. Eventually Shanahan would bench Jake “The Flake” Plummer in favor of his prized rookie during the 2006 season when the Broncos had a record of 7-4. Cutler led the Broncos to just two victories in the final five games of his f...

Tennessee Titans Draft Needs

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 16:04:01 -0500

Positions: WR, CB, DE, LB In recent years, Tennessee Titans fans have clamored for a top-flight wide receiver. In 2007, the team selected safety Michael Griffin from the University of Texas. In 2008, they "reached" for the speedy running back Chris Johnson out of ECU. Fortunately, those picks have paid huge dividends thus far, as both have become Pro Bowlers in their first and second seasons, respectively. With all of that said, is this finally the year that the Titans draft...

Titans running back Chris Johnson was the only rookie to make it to the Pro Bowl. But he lost out on the offensive rookie of the year award in a landslide to Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan.

And Johnson doesn't like it.

"[T]he whole thing is bogus, Johnson said, according to Terry McCormick of the Nashville [...]

Smash and Dash (the OG version)

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 12:52:23 -0500

Chris Johnson and LenDale White have teamed up to make the most formidable running duo in the NFL. They've got two very distinct running styles, and they've been able to be the crux of an offense that has produced a 12-1 team. They also have a member (LenDale White) who coined a nickname for the duo, "Smash and Dash," that was pretty accurate, and pretty safely Tennessee's, until...

Titans RB Chris Johnson To Be Fined By The NFL?

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:05:27 -0500

Chris Johnson had plenty of reasons to celebrate during today's 34-10 win against the Chiefs, the running back continued his excellent rookie season with 168 yards and capped his performance with a 66-yard touchdown run. Feeling joyous, Johnson decided to take advantage of a set of bongo drums placed right near the field and he'll certainly get fined by the NFL gestapo for his exuberance, which makes sense since the only thing hurt by his performance was the skin on top of the bongo drum.
