What To Watch For: Titans RB Chris Johnson

You want fan outrage? Check this out.

Chris Johnson (Rookie Contract, 3 seasons): 4,598 rush yds (4.97 ypc), 34 rush TDs, 137 catches, 1,008 rec yds, 4 rec TDs

Chris Johnson (After holding out and getting a new contract, 1 season): 1,047 rush yds (4.0 ypc), 4 rush TDs, 57 catches, 418 rec yds

To put it into perspective, those first 3 seasons cost the Tennessee Titans a total of $1.23 million in salary. Last season cost them $3 million in salary. Let's not even discuss the $10 million signing bonus he got either.

Needless to say, TItans fans, coaches and ownership are looking for a bit more from "Cop Speed" in the second year of his big contract (that he held out to get). So far......so bad.

Rush Yards Avg TD Rec Yards Avg TD
Chris Johnson 11 4 0.4 0 6 47 7.8 0

Johnson ran for more than 70 yards in just 3 of the Titans' 16 regular-season games last season. If the Chargers can use the same gameplan they did with Darren McFadden to keep Johnson in the 50-rushing-yards-or-less area, they should be well on their way to 2-0 to start the season.
