    CJ has had 15 or less carries in 10 or 15 games. I dont think we can lower his carries any more..we just need to fix the o-line which will allow CJ and a bigger back to get 5-10 carries a gaem.

    yep. CJ averages like 16 rushes a game. Which is where most of us would have wanted him.

    Speaking of not being on the team in 2012 its not really been that much fun at all Harper. Should have washed ALL the suck out of that #23 before 4Q sunday. Inexcusable fumble there rookie.

    That's true, and we need to make sure our RB's know they're the second most important players after the QB. It's their job to lift the team up and carry them when the QB isn't. C.J. hasn't done that much this year so a change isn't the worst idea.

    :ha::ha::ha: agreed. I really dislike how the Titans force new players into former players jerseys. Tony Brown leaves, we make Klug wear No.97. Donnie Nickey leaves, we made Harper take that.

    I know Griffin wore 27 in Texas, but chose not to wear 27 in TN. Guess he knew better.

    exactly. a running back is the least of our running games woes. Amanos fat :grrr::grrr::grrr: keeps getting shoved back 5 yards on every play.

    i like harris but scott and amano have to go.

    Would like to sign Bowe along with Myers. Boom. Offense solved.

    But we all know this isn't Madden...

    We can dream right :brow:....Titans don't have to make many moves to content next year. But the problem is are they going to make them?

    How in the hell does a guy start a thread about rebuilding the RB position and then don't include the overly paid underachiever?

    If CJ is still here we have not rebuilt anything.

    Also strange that Mike wants to pee away the 4th rd pick we just used on Harper and the 5th we used on Ringer and draft another RB high while we have all these other needs.

    I don't get that..

    Question for Mike-175..


    You sure enjoy starting new threads. And you have a very unusual perspective on things..

    Are you suggesting that we draft a RB in rd 1? So we can use $15M of our cap on RBs? Harper and Ringer are dirt cheap and cost almost nothing.

    Want to rebuild the RB position? Toss CJ and draft, sign or trade for a fast RB to complement Harper and Ringer. Use the cap savings on a safety and a guard.


    We are going to have other needs when the free agent -draft process begins. We don't need to be using a high pick on a RB when we need help at DE-safety-Will backer-interior O-line.
