Johnson unanimous for All-Pro

GameSetMatch — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 17:23:54 +0000

Chris Johnson didn’t get any votes for MVP. He didn’t miss any for The Associated Press 2009 NFL All-Pro team.

The 2,000-yard rusher from the Tennessee Titans was the only unanimous choice for the squad, which was announced Thursday. He’s joined in the backfield by Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who won an unprecedented fourth Most Valuable Player Award last week, when only quarterbacks received votes.

“That’d be a good thing,” said Johnson, who won the Offensive Player of the Year award Wednesday. “Because I feel like if you put a season out there, out of those dudes who got votes or the dudes who won, I wouldn’t feel they had a better season than I had, and broke as many records in one season that I had.”

Chris Johnson’s speed can’t be matched

GameSetMatch — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 17:51:13 +0000

Titans Coach Jeff Fisher warned the 49ers that Chris Johnson’s speed could not be replicated in practice

One day after the second-year pro rushed for a franchise-record 228 yards against the Jaguars, Fisher relayed a story about a unique method one team employed to prepare for Hall of Famer Barry Sanders’ speed, quickness and ability to change direction in a split second.

“Teams tried to do all kinds of things,” Fisher said. “I remember one team in particular brought a chicken out on the field and let the defense chase the chicken around, desperately trying to simulate the type of speed and quickness.”

Titans’ Fisher not saying if it’s Collins or Young at QB

GameSetMatch — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:06:40 +0000

During his team’s winless streak to start the season, Titans coach Jeff Fisher was clear about his starting quarterback — Kerry Collins, no questions asked.

Coming off the bye weekend and heading into Sunday’s game against the Jaguars, however, Fisher isn’t making the same commitment.
“We’ve had a week to do some different things and considering the circumstances we’re in right now with the record, there’s things that you need to do differently,” Fisher said on Monday. “Let’s just say I am not going to be as specific and open-ended from a competitive standpoint.”
Fisher made it clear he remains confident in Collins, who has completed 54.8 percent of his passes with five touchdowns and eight interceptions. Vince Young came off the bench the past two games for mop-up duty.

Titans’ struggles tied to sluggish offense

GameSetMatch — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 20:13:21 +0000

Asked this week how the Titans managed to tumble into a winless streak after producing the NFL’s best record last season, quarterback Kerry Collins paused for several seconds.

“You know, um … that’s something we’re working on this week,” Collins said.
He won’t have to search long for the answer when it comes to the offense. It’s quite simple, actually. The Titans rank last in the league in time of possession, a statistic that illustrates the impact of mistakes.
According to Titans Coach Jeff Fisher, everybody shares in the blame, from wide receivers and the offensive line to running backs and Collins. Their combined actions have derailed multiple possessions.

Titans quarterback Kerry Collins doesn’t expect a demotion

GameSetMatch — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 19:53:42 +0000

If the Titans are considering a change at quarterback, they haven’t told starter Kerry Collins about it.

Coach Jeff Fisher said he would consider “minor roster changes” during the bye week, but he’s not expected to replace Collins with Vince Young before the Nov. 1 game against the Jaguars.
“I haven’t gotten any indication from him of a change,” Collins said Wednesday.
Collins has struggled so far, throwing five touchdowns and eight interceptions. The Titans (0-6) are ranked 24th in passing offense. Young came off the bench the past two games.

Titans vs. Patriots: Collins benched again after ineffective start

GameSetMatch — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:08:26 +0000

For the second week in a row Titans quarterback Kerry Collins watched the end of a game from the sideline, the outcome well out of his control.

Vince Young replaced Collins in the third quarter of an eventual 59-0 loss to the Patriots, and the 15th-year pro said he is not sure what happens next, now that the Titans are 0-6.

“I am not going to assume anything at this point,’’ Collins said. “I still feel like I am the quarterback of this team and this is my team. I give us a chance to win when I go out there.’’

Coach Jeff Fisher would not discuss his plans at quarterback after the game.
