Chris Johnson is insane... I would take him over Peterson with no flinch at this point.

^ CJ is also a good receiver. Many do not know he was a receiver for some time at East Carolina.

When Tennessee drafted him, the scouting report said he had great straight line speed, but was a little stiff and not a between the tackles runner. He was projected to be like Reggie Bush...used as a receiver and on outside runs.

 

It's also funny to think back of the analysts, Steve Young in particular, tearing the Titans apart for drafting another running back...reaching for Chris Johnson at #24 and not getting Vince Young some help at WR.

Nope.

I've never heard Steve Young ever say anything good about the Titans. He was so negative last year I had to turn down the volume when he was on!

I like Steve Young, but I agree. He's so obsessed with offense and passing the ball that he can't give a decent analysis of Tennessee. He doesn't like the Titans because they play smash mouth football. At least that's the way it comes off when he talks about them.

 

The irony is that the Titans and Ravens were very similar teams in '08. Had he been consistent in his analysis, he'd have said the same things about Baltimore. If he did, I never heard it.

 

All I heard from Young was how you can't win the way Tennessee plays, keeping the score low, etc., while the Titans were en route to the top seed in the AFC. :idunno:

 

Anyway, it's irritating, but I've learned to deal with it. He and Matt Millen have a bet going right now...Millen bet him that Tennessee would run the table. Young said they wouldn't.

 

The bet actually originated because Millen was saying that the Titans had a shot to win out the way they were playing, and Steve Young just kept saying they didn't have a chance. Most everyone knows its unlikely, but you can't deny that they have a chance. This Sunday is a huge game...if they can win, they're at 6-6 with 3 straight home games to follow, before a trip to Seattle in Week 17. Do I expect it? Not really. Is it possible? Certainly.

I said several weeks ago, that the worse thing that could happen would Tennessee turn things around with VY playing.

 

Now losing out on a great pick in the draft and maybe skipping on a future QB to give VY more chances...

VY is building up some trade value with his current play.
