Tennessee Titans Running Back Success Rate Against the Jets

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
Stats after the jump.
Chris Johnson
LenDale White
One thing is obvious to me, LenDale needs to get more carries as part of a campaign to keep Kerry Collins from throwing the ball 30+ times a game.

a question....
it doesn’t bother tennessee fans that you guys are giving the city of Houston free advertising whenever you wear those throwback uniforms? just asking.
This is our old buddy chris the Texan fan.
He won’t be coming back around as TITSRULE! anymore, either.

Ol' buddy??
That “IDIOT” is your buddy? With friends like that you certainly use some more enemies. Drop dead texans! “46”
It was sarcastic
And in the meantime, chill over there on BRB man. Tim and BFD have always been good to us, and we don’t like those guys coming over here and acting like fools.
They know we don’t like their team, but that is their site. Just hang out with us and we’ll talk Titans!

It actually kind of fits Nashville
if you’ve ever been here for very long, you know that it really seems like everyone is from somewhere else originally but decided to upgrade.

OOOOHHHH!
LOOK honey! Those are HOUSTON throwbacks! Remember that team?!?!? I think they almost made it to the Super Bowl one time!!!!
SEEING THOSE THROWBACKS MAKES ME WANNA VISIT HOUSTON! MAYBE WE COULD EAT SOME CRAPPY BEEF BAR-B-QUE AND HANG OUT IN THEIR CRAPPY AIRPORT!!!
Crappy beef BBQ?
Please keep in mind to attack the a-holes posting and not the town or area because there a lot of Texans who do root for the Titans and don’t appreciate you dogging Texas and/or us out. And it’s obvious by your statement you don’t shit about BBQ if you think putting “beef” in the line is a negative.
Texans who root for the Titans....
That’s like guys who are still chasing their ex-wives after they moved out of the house because they were sleeping with your friends.
SHES GONE.
MOVE ON.

Fans who run their teams out of town..
Are like guys who chase Jennifer Aniston out of their house because they think Megan Fox is moving in. Then when Rosie O’Donnell moves in they get pissed.
SHE IS GONE.
MOVE ON.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Right on Titan 9!!!!!!! “46”
You got Bud Adams....
In EVERY possible way, you lose.

I couldn't agree more Jimmy.
I’ve said Lendale should be getting more carries. It’s like they keep CJ in hoping for the big run. They’ve got away from what worked for them last season.
It's especially weird when you consider that the Titans have been struggling so mightily with Time of Possession.
CJ is great at breaking the occasional long run, but he’s not what you’d call a between the tackles, possession RB. And LenDale is. As he’s been showing all year.

More balance
Agree. I love CJ, but he doesn’t survive contact as well as Lendale does. They need to be using them both pretty evenly.
100% agree
I like to think of like a havy weight fight. Hit them with the body blows (Lendale) til they get a little gassed then go for the knockout (CJ). Also great write up I was trying to explain this exact thing the other day to a co-worker and these graphs are spot on.
lendale does look hungry (no punn intended) :)

haha... nice jimmy
Christie kicks it high and short...Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the 25...He dishes it back to Wycheck...He throws it across the field to Dyson...

Lendale ran with purpose Sunday.
Going down on one hand and keeping his feet alive. Great run and desire.
great run and desire...
indeed. now dont get me wrong im on CJ’s side completely and love the guy as our running back, but i just dont feel that white is getting the reps he DESERVES. hes always looking to run through the middle and not coast to coast, CJ is a ticking time bomb with a short fuse no doubt about that, i would like to see a little bit more distribution between the two. especially if CJ’s getting stopped on first and second down.

split more carries
Yeah thats how we did it last year rotating both back frequently and somehow we’ve gotten away from that this season. I think the O.C. has fallen in love with CJ’s homerun speed and gotten away from softening defenses up with the sledgehammer of Lendale white. They need to split more carries for sure. “46”
It Would Help To Add VY's Rushing Stats
What would be wrong with a little VY at wildcat?
Heck, why not let him return kicks? What team keeps one of their most elusive runners on the bench?
Bring Back Vince Young!

Ok
Here are Vince’s rushing stats for the Jets game:
0 carries for 0 yards
Success rate: Impossible because you can’t divide by zero. Boom….math.
Also, Vince would be terrible returning kicks. Punts he might have a shot, but returning kicks isn’t about being elusive. It is about hitting the crease. That’s what she said.

if you feel smart....
because you pointed out how VY didnt play in the game, dont flatter yourself, millions caught that also. and did you just set up, create, and laugh at your own joke. heres a joke for you. ^

I'd love to see Ringer
get in there for some carries. He was so hyped before the season and looked great in the preseason. Especially with this being a contract year for Lendale, it would be great to know what we have in Ringer.
i have a gut feeling that....
unfortunately lendale will not resign with us, i think deep down he wants to start and be the man. hopefully im wrong, with him gone, we dont have a red zone back to punch it in. although CJ is a monstrosity of his own, he doesnt get the td white gets at the jets this past sunday.
