CJ is terrible this year. Dropped him from my team just before this past sunday regardless of all the "CJ'S COMEBACK GAME!" hype, and boy am i glad i did. I don't expect him to perform any better for the rest of the season.

I'll explain what's going on in tennessee, which most of you guys probably havn't gotten a chance to watch or understand behidn the scenes.

This offseason the titans changed their schemes with respect to offensive line, protection, and running. They have now implemented a zone blocking scheme and they are using it all game long..

basically zone blocking requires the play to develop itself, while the lineman are all pushing the defenders toward the same direction, and gives the running back a choice to either go off guard, tackle, or cut back

What is happening with chris johnson is that he isnt able to make this read in time because tennessee's particular system is more suited for a power runner, which is why I can not figure out what in the world they are doing. javon ringer has been more successful because the scheme suits his style a bit more, but still he hasnt done much

zone blocking requires you to have good offensive lineman, something tennessee DOES NOT have. they were much more successful in the last three years with their man blocking schemes and chris johnson is now getting stuck at the line of scrimmage and wasting too much time trying to make a read instead of just hitting the hole and bursting through as he did with man coverage

if you guys want more info on zone blocking vs man blocking check out this link and you will understand.

so the factors responsible for tennessee's running problems are

1) new scheme (zone blocking)

2) lack of athletic offensive lineman to implement scheme yet they are trying anyway

3) offensive lineman suck regardless of scheme

4) no WR threats and immobile qb, putting 8 men in the box regularly

5) chris johnson has lost trust in this system and is losing trust in his own abilities because of all of this.

CHANGE THE SYSTEM, and get better lineman, and for Gods sake get better receivers or any weapons whatsoever so that they stop stacking the box, and the old chris johnson will be back.

hope this helps for you guys wondering why chris johnson has gone MIA.

I got CJ in a Keeper league, it's not looking like im keeping him - despite him being the most elusive threat in the NFL

i thought i was a genius trading steve smith when his value was high (i thought he'd teeter off) for chris johnson when his value was low (and still is) but now i feel like an idiot. i mean i'm pretty solid at WR but CJ didn't help my lack of RB production like i thought he would

Why the F would you change your running scheme if your doing well with it that makes no sense

new coaching staff i suppose new philosophy...

coaches are arrogant and believe their systems work and usually stick to them even if they fail..

coaches are also arrogant and believe their ability to scout talent is flawless, which is why a lot of QB's play terrible but are not benched because a coach has too much pride to throw in the towel and say that his man was no good.

pride kills nfl head coaches and ultimately gets them fired.
