Chris Johnson Success Rate Against the Jacksonville Jaguars

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.

No surprise here that Chris Johnson's success rate was just 33%. The rushing game is my biggest concern that emerged from this game. The defense is going to be a work in progress, but the offensive line was supposed to be fixed. They sure didn't look fixed yesterday.

I do think they will look better once CJ has had some time to practice in the offense.

Jamie Harper had three runs yesterday and was successful on 2 of them. This will make gramsey "holler" even louder about CJ's holdout.

Have to love those zero yard gains on 1st and 10....yeesh!! Nothing is more frustrating than this IMO.

Chris Johnson wants me to Stop The Football Unfairness (STFU). And he CAN care less about the fact the I think he's greedy. Sounds like someone who is taking the high road to me.

There were a lot of people saying that CJ could just get plugged back in like he hadn't missed camp...

Anyone who was surprised at his production should now realize that NO ONE can miss all of camp and the preseason and be expected to perform! I am extremely disappointed that the coaches didn’t seem to think the same and give Harper the bulk of the carries. I believe that the Titans could have won yesterday had they chose to let Jamie carry the load… instead we went with a player who obviously did not know what or where he was supposed to be!

As far as CJ goes, I hope he can get going this coming week, but I really doubt that he will have an impact until the Broncos game… he is just not ready, nor does he have any idea about this new offense…. CJ, get your ass into the playbook and LEARN this offense… in short, do your F@cking job!!!
