The East Carolina product had one of the greatest seasons from a running back in recent memory, cutting through defenses like a hot knife through butter. This Titan became the single most important component to his team while accumulating 2006 total rushing yards, becoming only the sixth player in NFL history to break the 2000 yard barrier in a single season.

Johnson became the first NFL player to break the 2000 yard mark since Jamal Lewis ran for 2066 yards back in 2003. But apart from the total number, what was astonishing is the way that Johnson was able to achieve his success. He didn’t merely limp over the 2000 yard mark, but he displayed an unbelievable knack for consistency and strength as the year progressed and teams continued to key on him as the player to shut down.

Despite being the central player that every Titans opponent has on their scouting report, Johnson’s freakish speed and breakaway ability continued to allow him to rack up numbers as the year went on. Johnson finished the season with a ridiculous streak of 11 games in a row of gaining over 100 rushing yards. His ability to do damage on the ground as the key to his 2009 success.

But Chris Johnson is much more than a one-dimensional running back who is limited to breaking through defenses on the ground. Johnson has the kind of physical tools that can be utilized out of the backfield, or making receptions that can be blown wide open into enormous gains. Aside from his 14 rushing touchdowns, Johnson had 2 receiving touchdowns while averaging over 10 yards a catch and gaining over 500 yards in the air. He became the first NFL player to rush for over 2000 yards and catch for 500 yards, and in doing so broke Marshall Faulk’s single season record for total yards with 2,509 in 2009.

In fantasy football terms, Johnson is averaging a touchdown every week, and over 125 yards rushing. These are astronomical numbers for anyone’s featured running back, but all the more impressive considering he has only completed his 2nd NFL season in 2009.

Upon his 2000 yard season, Johnson is affectionately referred to as “CJ2K” by the Tennessee faithful. His respect goes beyond his fans and opponents, but was named the 2009 AP Offensive Player of the Year.

If you have the Chris Johnson Rookie Card, you should feel very fortunate. He has made a case for the best 2 seasons to begin a career for any NFL player in league history, and has his sights set on achieving even greater things. With his reputation as the fastest man in the NFL, watching CJ2K will be a lot of fun in the years to come.

Mercury Morris Picks the Titans to Win it All!

Mercury Morris has recently been quoted on ESPN saying that he thinks the Titans are the team to beat in the NFL. Mercury Morris a rookie in 1971 was a primary reason the Miami Dolphins went on to the only undefeated season in NFL history. Morris ran for over 1000 yards and 10 tds that season in 14 games.

Morris has been quoted as saying that the Titans reminds him of the undefeated Dolphins the year they won it all. The Titans are 10-0 and nobody respects them as a legitamate team to win it all. The Dolphins were not favorites in any of their playoff games and certainly not in the superbowl against the powerhouse NFL, Washington Redskins. The Titans are doing it exactly the same way the Dophins did it in 1972, two great running backs, a no mistake quarterback and a defense that refuses to yield points when the games matter most.

Make no mistake about it this Titans team is for real and their is a real chance that they could run the table and win it all. Just ask the former Dolphin players who are more afraid of this team than last years New England Patriot team.

Lendale White powers a resurgent Titans team

Lendale White this season has racked up some very interesting numbers. In 7 games with the Tennessee Titans, Lendale White the unheralded running back from USC has hit paydirt 10 times. His bruising stye conjures up images of other great running backs like Jerome Bettis.

While Reggie Bush was considered to be the prize at the NFL draft, White continues to produce in the NFL. Last year in his second campaign, Lendale White scored 7 touchdowns before he was hurt. Now he is turning into the premeir goalline back in the game. If you watched the game Monday night you saw that Tennessee gives the tailback the ball at every opportunity at the goalline - virtually daring teams to try and stop the powerhouse running back.

While at USC, Lendale was an amazing running back. On several occasions in his senior season at USC had games of greater then 150 yards and 3 touchdowns. While the pundits said he was too slow for the NFL, he has proven them wrong and now continues to shine for the upstart Titans team.
