reo Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 But the biggest signing and cap commitment , Levitre, should help, yes? I'd say Walker and Levitre should both help actually and I expect at least 1 draft pick to add to that, possibly 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 What is the obsession with taking away CJ's long runs to see what his average is? They happened, therefore they count. I don't understand the logic behind it. First of all the article is about converting 3rd downs and sustaining drives so a long run had nothing to do with that One of of the long runs was against back ups down 39 points late in the 4th, it doesn't count. His average is heavily skewed with the long runs and it doesn't show his true consistent mediocrity Who cares about AP, we all know he's ten times better than CJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 The Titans had one hundred and thirty-six 3rd & long opportunities (in excess of 3rd and 5) in 2012. Only twelve of them resulted from sets of downs where CJ ran on both 1st and 2nd down. CJ ran on 1st and 2nd down forty-one times, so 29% of the time the Titans were in 3rd & long. Interestingly, the longest 3rd & long resulting from a CJ run on both 1st and 2nd down was 3rd & 14. On that set of downs CJ actually ran for seven yards on 1st down, then lost eleven on 2nd down. Such was the Titans season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamalisms Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 pretty sure that 3rd down was the option play where a guy was tackling CJ before he got the pitch. 2nd down you mean? Not sure, week 11 against the Hags... 16 yard line running right. There were actually quite a few negative runs that were going to be negative runs no matter what... and on some of them CJ didn't accept that right away and ran backwards to try and change the play's fate. Negative eleven has to be one of those. It wasn't even a run from shotgun, so I can't imagine he got the ball eleven yards deep. That stat cracks me up. Gained seven yards on 1st down, no penalties, still ended up at 3rd & 14. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 If you must troll, please step it up. This embarrasses us all. ... says the guy who posted "Trololo Sing Along!" The assembled stats document an anemic run game that consistently put a young quarterback in unfavorable down / distance situations. Your conclusion that the young QB needs to turn into a top 5 QB next year is a tad unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pat Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 There's something to the question about playcalling. In 2009 we did a lot of damage with CJ on third down, way more than one would expect. 2009 CJ http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/splits/_/id/11258/year/2009/chris-johnson 2012 CJ http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/splits/_/id/11258/year/2012/chris-johnson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
