Tennessee Titans Daily Links: Ringer Carries The Load Edition

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Yesterday's win might not have been the most inspiring, but it was a great chance for the Titans to snap a nearly month-long trend of terrible performances. After getting waxed by the Texans and Steelers, the Titans took advantage of one of the worst teams in the NFL at home. Javon Ringer was able to get the running game out of the sewer and at least into a cozy gutter, and the defense was harassing Painter and the Colts WRs all day long.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 After the game Ringer continued to assert that Chris Johnson is the no. 1 running back, but he'll take full advantage of every chance he gets. I honestly believe that Ringer's increased workload was an intentional and deliberate move on the part of Munchak and Palmer to help the offense, and send a message to Johnson. Honestly, it's a few weeks later than it needed to be, but it's definitely in time to help get this offense on track for a playoff run. As I mentioned on MCM Radio, if Ringer can get the rushing attack to even a subpar state, we'll have a lot more success than we're having with an epically horrible performance so far.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Paul K looks at the broken run game, and how CJ's struggles compare to those of Matt Hasselbeck's former teammate, Shaun Alexander.

Star-divide

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Patrick Bailey gave the Titans a huge boost by blocking a punt that was recovered for a touchdown. Who blew the blocking assignment that made that play possible? The guy who is on track to be Bill Polian's most spectacular first round bust, Jerry Hughes.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Boclair points out that the Titans scored all 27 points yesterday thanks to turnovers.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Cortland Finnegan had an ice bag on his hand after yesterday's game, but downplayed the injury.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Here's this week's Audibles at the Line.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Well played, Tully.

Tennessee_titans_30x21 Speaking of former Titans, Pacman Jones is hopeful that he'll be healthy enough to start next Sunday when the Bengals come to Nashville. Pac missed time earlier this year while still recovering from the neck injury that ended his season last year, but he hurt his hamstring returning a punt yesterday. Regardless of where Pac is on Sunday, he'll still be an asshole.

From PK MMQB:
j. Chris Johnson. Only man in the top 50 NFL rushers to average less than three yards per rush. And it’s way less — 2.82. Which leads me to …
3. I think I am amazed to say this, but Chris Johnson is just another guy. I’ve watched enough of him through eight weeks now to say that with confidence. He’s making no one miss. He’s not fighting for a single extra yard. If his name were John Doe, and the Titans coaches were comparing him to all the other backs on the roster, I’d be stunned if they played him over Javon Ringer. Just watch Johnson, the 34th-leading rusher in the NFL. Tell me he’s either totally lost his drive, or he’s saving himself so he can play out his full, and very rich, contract.

I love this:
A defense lets down when Ringer is in the game because he’s not earned the respect Johnson has, he explained.

Maybe the Titans will be trendsetters. Maybe soon we’ll see offensive strategy shift across the league: Dynamic playmakers will head for the bench so defenses will relax in order for second-stringers with less talent, shorter résumés and smaller contracts to take advantage.

Soooo....I went back and looked at the fronts that both Ringer and CJ ran into.

Ringer:
7 men or less: 6 rushes
8 men or more: 8 rushes

CJ:
7 men or less: 4 rushes
8 men or more: 9 rushes
I missed one rush from CJ.

Anyhow, the disparity isn’t nearly as large as apologists would have you believe. And, if that last carry is against 7 men, it’s almost equal.

Let me also add that the tendency is to only look at YPC when evaluating backs. Also look at receptions.

Ringer: 5 rec, 42 yards, 8.4 YPR
CJ: 3 rec, 17 yards, 5.7 YPR

Total touches:
Ringer: 20 touches, 102 yards, 5.1 YPT
CJ: 17 touches, 51 yards, 3 YPT

It’s just one game, but any objective viewer can see that Ringer outplayed Johnson yesterday.

He just needs time to get his shit figured out

I am positive he hasn’t lost the ability/speed whatever you want to call it… but he has lost his damn mind when it comes to running. Watching Ringer run yesterday was watching a runningback make the most of the opportunity given to him. He ran hungry and we don’t see that anymore from CJ.

I think the speed is still there. Maybe not as good as it used to be with the wear and tear, but its still there.

The vision though is gone. And he needs to find it or he won’t be successful again. As SuperHorn said, its like watching Chris Henry out there.

Another interesting thing from Kuharsky

was that it seemed like CJ was running to not get hurt, so he can play out his whole contract. But wasn’t that what the whole guaranteed money argument was? That he could play as he always plays, but without the fear of not having money if he gets hurt.

the benefit before was defenses were scheming for him, so they didn’t want to tip their hat. But now there is not much of a reason to scheme specifically for CJ, so you lose little to no advantage by stating it’s injury related.

Shit it gets worse for CJ
The good news: Rivers would be 2011’s “What the eff is wrong with him?” NFL star if not for Chris Johnson, who’s had at least 30 carries this season that made him look like Deena or Snooki starting to lunge at someone in a bar and immediately being tackled by three bouncers who carried her 10 feet backwards.

The only thing I would like to see with Ringer getting more carries,

is for CJ to be on the field at the same time. He is decent at pass blocking and is still the fastest player on the field 99 percent of the time. He is still a weapon, but we are not using him correctly. With CJ, either you give him the ball a million times and he breaks one, or you give him 15 carries and get what we saw yesterday. Instead we need him lined up at every position on the field at different times. The defense will always have to account for him when he’s on the field even when he’s not doing well. With the state of our receiving core I don’t see how it would hurt to put him on the field for 45 to 55 snaps and get him 10-17 carries with 6 to 7 receptions. Yesterday CJ wasn’t on the field for 7 possessions, and that doesn’t make any sense to me. Put his ass in the slot and make the defense guess what we are doing. Make him the most expensive decoy in the history of the NFL.

Perfect example is using the shotgun to rb’s three wr sets. Instead of putting in Cook in the backfield with Ringer, it needs to be CJ and Ringer to go with Cook, Hands, Williams/Hawk on the outside. This optimizes our chances of confusing the defense and gives us added wrinkles. Some things are like Madden, and we need every weapon we have on the field for the maximum amount of plays. Right now our weapons are Hands, Ringer, CJ, and Cook/ Stevens. These guys need to run 85-90 percent of the snaps. It’s time to be creative if we are serious about not being terrible. Just my long winded two cents.

CJ used to get alot of his yards on the outside.

These days when he get to the outside there as many offensive players as defense in his way. What ever happed to the offensive line sealing this off. This zone blocking sceme is just not working (obviously).

After seeing yesterday's performance, I no longer want to break up the offfensive line.

If Ringer gets a fair shot at carrying the weight of the run game, and averages less than 3 yards per carry, then I’m all for it. But we are really good at pass blocking, and one of our running backs had some success yesterday.

if Ringer gets CJ’s carries he is over 100yds, rushing plus his receiving yards which puts him at a very respectable game.

Ringer should be the majority of the work next week.

I’d say 70-30 split. He’s just better right now. Our line may be bad, but it was good enough for our backup running back to get 4.3 yards per carry. And don’t give the “its just the Colts bad defense” because CJ was facing that exact same defense and had almost half the success.

I said before last year's draft that I really felt we needed to address our needs for O-Line in the draft.

So yes, of course I see the need for improvement there. I am not, on the other hand, willing to blame the O-Line for CJ’s mis-cues…especially when I look back at the re-plays of the game and I can see holes open & CJ’s dancing around back in the backfield.

I don't think anyone's dismissing our horrible O-line play.

But, that’s nothing new, and it’s not getting fixed this year. So, then the question becomes: With this O-line, who can get us more consistent yards on the ground?

And, at least for now, I feel more comfortable with Ringer.

by SuperHorn on Oct 31, 2011 12:05 PM CDT up reply actions   1 recs

*This; at least we know we have an average-to-bad O-line for running the ball

with an average-to-decent running back getting average-to-decent yards right now. I am totally fine with average-to-decent as apposed to CJs just bad running.

Do you think Ringer can consistently break that many tackles a game?

I know you didn’t want people to bring up how bad the Colts are, but they are bad at tackling. Can we expect that many tackles to be broken against a good defense like the Bengals?

This isn’t me advocating for CJ over Ringer, just saying that his production in this game is worrisome because of how he had to get it.

This isn't about CJ. Just about Ringers production.

I for one am not confident he can break 2+ tackles on every play against the Bengals defense, for instance.

There's only one way to find out.

Ringer’s performance yesterday shouldn’t be extrapolated over a whole season, but it shouldn’t be dismissed either. Ringer made poor tacklers pay, and that’s more than we can say for CJ in any game this year.

by SuperHorn on Oct 31, 2011 12:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

Again, I'm not trying to tie this to CJ at all.

Just questioning what answers we can have if Ringer can’t break all those tackles every play in games against better tackling defenses.

Er.

I don’t know the “answer”, necessarily. For now, you go with the hot hand, I think. It’s easy to just write it off as a systematic problem, but sometimes things change with the insertion of a different playmaker. For example, Dallas has struggled running the football this year. Then, they plug in Murray and he breaks the single game franchise rushing record (against STL, still impressive nonethless, though).

These are still people after all, and the situation is fluid. Knowing that the guy who you’re blocking for is busting his ass and running hard to get extra yards could potentially compound into better performance out of the o-line. Maybe not, but our CJ is playing so poorly that there’s little downside to this experiment.

We have a small subject size to determine if he will or won't be able to do it, but based on the last game I'd say we have a pretty good chance

and wasn’t that what he was known for at Michigan?

Ringer was running like a man on a mission yesterday.

Every time he touched the ball he ran hard….can he break tackles like that every game??? Give him the ball and lets find out. At this point we have nothing to lose, CJ is not producing, so why waste valuable touches on whats not working….Not sure the exact wording of the old saying but it goes something like…..

“Craziness is doine the same things over and over and expect different results” Right now we are fucking crazy…time to run Ringer.

For if thou acknowledges the meme, the meme will immediately die a quick and spiraling death. A meme is never meant to look itself in the eye. Tebow, what have thou done!

From his Twitter account:

    #Tebowing – to get down on a knee and start praying, even if everyone else around you is doing something completely different. Love it!

This is just like that time the plank went planking. Or the time the owl went owling. It breaks the fourth wall. Can a plank even technically plank? Can a Tebow even Tebow???

needed perspective on this

What you might not know is that Tulloch got up, went to Tebow and told him it was just in fun, not meant to be mean-spirited. Tebow said that was fine. And at the end of the day, after Tebow had been nonstop terrible for three hours in Denver’s 45-10 loss to Detroit, Tebow thanked Tulloch for a good game. Tulloch told him to keep working hard, and that everything would work out.

totally different subject but if there was a guy on the team other new was gay people might have a problem, but if he kept it to himself most would not say much openly….However if he showed up wearing a rainbow shirt and a pink too-too being flamboyent than let the teasing begin.

I know that is a poor anology but, I understand where Pratt is going with the flamboyant thing. There is nothing wrong with being christian, heck everyone should be, however when you go overboard with it there will always be others thinking it is a show or an act or wanting to make a litte fun of the situation.

LOL no all is good and maybe overboard is the wrong choice of words....

I just think that some people view public display of religion in different ways. Another crack at an anaolgy if you will:

Some people might get extremly offended at seeing PDF. Now mind you I am not talking about holding hands or kissing, but groaping and things like that.

I know plenty of people that say you know what there is nothing wrong with being religious or christian. There is nothing wrong with letting others know your beliefs, or with showing your beliefs in public. Kind of like thanking God for you athletic ability or the opprounity to play or to shine on that particular play. But there is a certain point when it appears as more of a “Hey everybody look at me I am better than your sinner ass God loves me more…type of moment” than just expressing your beleifs.

Everyone knows Tebow is a devout christian, but he constantly continues to remind you just in case you did not already know which I personally think can be a bit overboard.

Right, Wrong, or indifferent thats how I see it, and no ammount of arguing will ever ammount to either of us winning an argument about Religion.

i think CJ will get his form back, i just think it will take an offseason of really working with Palmer and massaging the playbook to get there. new blockers too.

i also think it’s funny that ringer can put up mediocre numbers against a turrible defense and people go wild, but that’s another story. the difference between ringer and CJ against non-crapper teams is not going to turn losses into wins. might as well try something new, but i don’t expect much to change in a meaningful way.

The lack of proper off-season is what killed him.

And I don’t think it has much to do with Ringer himself, more so how bad CJ is really playing this season. Ringer is an average running back and we got average play from him on Sunday, but really that is all we needed.

I disagree.

Look at this.

The problem is that the increase from 32 to even 31st isn’t necessarily linear. It’s not some set per carry amount that separates one ranking the next.

Point here being that we could still be a bottom 1/3 rushing team, yet have a running back who’s averaging a full 1.5 more yards per carry. CJ’s numbers thusfar are THAT bad. Not only that, but if we can get more consistency our of the run game I think it helps the offense as a whole get more rhythm.

For the first time in years, we have a competent QB that can actually win some games on his own. A little help from the run game could go a long way.

by SuperHorn on Oct 31, 2011 2:27 PM CDT up reply actions  

i think we are putting waaaaaaaay too much stock in beating the worst team in the league

the running game with a small bump is going to open up what, exactly? good (not even great) teams can wipe nate off the field, leaving the dipshit twins williams and hawkins to continue sucking and jared cook to continue hiding in plain sight.

this game was merely a special teams TD and some tipped INTs from being the broncos game all over again. mentioning ringer as part of getting " this offense on track for a playoff run" is sheer hilarity. we just aren’t good.

Let's be clear...I"m not projecting this performance onto the rest of the season.

But, we’ve got to find out what Ringer can do, I think.

If we can get closer to a 4 YPC clip running the ball, that takes a lot more stress of Hasselbeck. Despite our mediocrity, there are few dominant teams in the AFC right now, and the Texans have an uncanny ability to shit the bed. We’re not winning Super Bowls any time soon, but it’s too early in the season to just roll over. Mix it up. Nothing bad comes of giving Ringer more touches.

I really like the idea of the RB committee

using Ringer… basically like we did this last game and involving CJ more in the passing game (McCoy-Westbrook-style) throwing some Harper/Hall in there on short yardage/goal line.

I think it could, potentially.

Even with a total absence of anything that resembles a run game, we’re converting 40% of our 3rd downs. That’s good for 13th in the league. And, I’d wager that the lion’s share of those are 3rd and 5+. If we can actually get into more 3rd and manageable, and (GASP!) potentially move the chains on some of those with the run game, we might see more sustained drives. More points. Etc.

I think having a little more competent run game has a compounding effect, not just a marginal, incremental increase in YPP.

How'd that change?

Because you get more insight about Locker during Titans practices than you do Dalton in Cincy? Or has Dalton just shown you something that makes you question him? Just curious, since I was all for Dalton pre draft but am in love with Locker after all I’ve read here

I liked Locker more once I dug into all of his college games.

I still think Dalton can be very good, though, and he’s got some great young talent around him.

crazy how good of a scenario cinci turned out being for a young qb

great defense, good weapons, not awful run game. sounds an awful like what we were hoping to give locker at some point,

I still think CJ needs to shed the dreads.

maybe if he quits doing that head shake twitch thing he can focus on what hole to hit

Nerve damage from a car accident that needed surgery

hasn’t stopped him before.

And i applaud him for it, juts like his broken leg in HS

But the dreads being gone would make him faster!!

Less weight for him to carry! Might help his vision too!

by TNTitan09 on Oct 31, 2011 3:41 PM CDT up reply actions  

to be honest i wonder what he'd look like

i’ve seen a pic of him in college when they were short and he looked overweight. atleast in his college player profile pic

no, CJ

Cj would look weird, kinda like how pacman was when he got his hair cut.

But before he cuts it i wanna see how big his afro would be

Last time we saw him he was groping some cheerleader....er....uh...

Oh, you mean THAT T-Rac…..don’t know. But not to worry, he’ll be back. Once you get hooked on MCM, there’s no cure.

I'm just going to say, instead of jumping into the opinion massacre above...

I hope this whole issue with CJ is solved soon, for MCM’s sake. Whether it’s giving Ringer a ton of carries, benching CJ, or CJ magically turning the clock back to 2009.

The amount of ridicule for conflicting opinions is reaching 2010’s VY-level status, and a ton of regulars got shunned over that ordeal. I don’t want to see this go the same way.

Like, persay, your comment up above basically calling the people that don't get right to blaming CJ "apologists".

And the comment you replied to ridiculed an argument that supports CJ.

Um. Those folks are "apologists". They make apologies/excuses for CJ's shortcomings. By definition, that's an apologist.

No shame in that. I was the resident VY apologist for years.

And, if my responses seem abrasive, call me out. I’m not attacking the readers intentionally. But, if someone makes a statement that I don’t believe is true, I’m going to disagree. If we all agreed with each other, I’m not sure we’d have much to talk about…

Just fix the run game, whether that means you have to sign Jamarcus Russel to run the fucking ball, I don’t care, JUST FIX IT SO WE CAN WIN MORE GAMES!!!1

Is it me or do we just not value the TE position in our offense

Another game, another 2 targets, another 2 receptions for Cook. With the struggles at nearly every other offensive position how is this guy not getting 5 – 10 targets a game. And don’t tell me he is not open. I’d like my chances of him out jumping or out-muscling most LBs over the middle, not to mention CBs.

What's our record?
3 and 3
How'd we ever win 3?
