Explanation:
Each individual rush is considered on it's own, and measured by it's "success." A run is considered successful if it gets 40% of the yardage needed to move the chains on first down, 60% of the yardage needed on second down, and 100% of the yardage needed on third or fourth down. This is a much more accurate overall picture of how well a running back does in a game than just the total yardage or ypc averages because it ignores big run outliers that can skew those kinds of stats

Chris Johnson
It was a rough night for CJ. A lot of that was his own doing because of his east-west running.
LenDale White
Now obviously that is a little over-inflated because of the late carries, but the man should have gotten the ball more.

Yeah, it is so dumb LenDale didn't play more
He was specifically designed by God to kill the Colts defense.

I'm just gonna follow T--Rac around
And rec him every time he makes this sort of comment.
PLAY. LENDALE. MORE.
Also, could this be one of the things that the coaches are completely dropping the ball on? I don’t want to reignite the “Fire Jeff Fisher” debate, but really, many are talking about the blame game and how there’s plenty of it to go around.
Well, LenDale isn’t playing enough, and when he does he dominates. So who’s fault is that, exactly?
Are we just done with LenDale? Is the consensus that we don’t want him anymore, that CJ is good enough to be an every down back?
CJ did not play that great on Sunday, I thought White blew him away the few carries he did have
It would be nice to focus more on the run. The passing game just isn’t cutting it at the moment, so put more emphasis on getting it on the ground. I think I could call a better game than what I saw Sunday night.

have it backwards. You need to soften up the defense with lots of The Thickness (only he ain’t so thick anymore) LenDale and then run CJ out there for a change of pace. Opposing defenses just tee off on CJ early in the game. CJ is exciting, but let’s face it he is light and can’t take a sustained beating. Work him outside, short passes on a spread and keep him from getting hammered.
I agree 100%, Coming up against the Pats we must establish a great run game.
Smash and Dash need to step it up to help take the pressure off of the QB.
Go Titans Go !!!!
