Chris Johnson Success Rate Against the St. Louis Rams

by Jimmy on Dec 14, 2009 2:43 PM CST in Tennessee Titans Recaps

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

vs STL / 12.13.09	Rushing				Receiving
	Rush	Yards	Avg	TD	Rec	Yards	Avg	TD
Chris Johnson	28	117	4.2	2	3	69	23	1

I have a feeling these numbers would have been a lot different if Vince Young hadn't left the game with an injury.

And the reason for that is....

VY makes everyone around him better. But that being said…how in the world could C..ya..J get any better? Those 2 touchdown runs were sick!! Reminded me of an expectant father weaving thru traffic to get his wife to the hospital on time.

they missed one in there.

in the first half he had a 10 yard run on first and 10… it says “no” next to it.

You are right

My bad…so update accordingly…1st half 5 successful in 12- 42% and 10 in 28 for the game- 36%

it was clear

that stopping cj was the rams’ #1, #2, and #3 priorities. they sold out to stop him and they did about a well as anyone can when he’s running like he is.
