    Me too.

    We were all misguided in Fisher speak to believe Chris Henry would be able to share the load at running back, and show improvement. Really, nice misdirection by the Titans in that regard. (and obvious reality that's hard to ignore when personal bias gets in the way, bias as in being a Titans fan and hoping for the best)

    Instead, MR's first draft was a horrible bust outside of round 1.

    Actually...

    Lendale...as our starter, fumbled FIVE times (lost all of them) during the regular season in '07. That's far from hardly ever!

    Gut

    PS - He didn't fumble against the Chargers.

    Dude. I seem to recall you hating on the CJ pick until early in the season. You just refused to believe the pick wasn't a total ****up from the draft onward even after he started showing significant promise as a game changer. :fish:

    You were the anti-bongo on CJ.

    I was angry at drafting another RB early for sure. I don't remember specifically mentioning that I thought CJ would suck though.

    Damnit... now you have me going through my old posts :grrhee:

    (after several minutes of searching)

    Wow, this thread was pretty funny... I went off on Starkiller on the Hayes being a reach haha.

    I've learned a few things. One, that I post too much. Two, that I go off on people too much. Three, that you have me confused...

    with RollTide I believe!



    Here is a comment I made about Chris Johnson after the draft.


    Here is the thread it comes from, along with a good sampling of RollTide's CJ bashing.

    And I liked Slaton's potential, so I may have at some point said that we should've addressed a different position in the first round and drafted Slaton later. But I'm too tired to look up anything else.

    Ah yes, RT wasn't a big fan of CJ either. I do remember that now. Good times...

    For what its worth, I want to clarify that I was pretty neutral when it came to CJ the player. Again, my concerns were directly with using so many draft picks on RBs. I don't think I knew enough of CJ to form any valid opinion.


    Now- there is plenty I have been wrong about! I just don't want to fall into the "I bashed CJ" camp. Although I did bash the selection of a RB, no doubt, just not the player in particular.

    I wanna see CJ line up at WR more. You know, going out deep. The sky is the limit with this guy.

    We all know what he can do out of the backfield, I just want to see him get more catches.

    Um...

    Get MORE catches? Don't you want us to throw it to our WR's occasionally? CJ was 2nd on the team in receptions only behind our TE Scaife!

    I would like to see him split out and have him run drag routes. No one could stay with him in man coverage and the dmg he could do after the catch would be significant.
