Man this dude is always hungry and it will make him get the title as the best running back if he keeps it up. Chris Johnson said he is ready for a busy off-season and a potential repeat performance. He believes he can one-up himself next year to get Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing mark of 2,105. Johnson and Titans coach Jeff Fisher believe the 24-year-old running back can possibly duplicate his 2,000-yard season, something that has never been done in the history of the NFL. During the first six games, Johnson was still sharing carries with White and averaged 99.3 yards per game on an average of 15.8 carries a game. In the 10 games Young started, Johnson took over the rushing duties almost exclusively, averaging 26.3 carries and 141 yards per game. So it will be interesting to see how he will do with everybody knowing he is getting the ball and him being the focal point. Looking back on the season their were times when the record could have been a lot closer than what he finished with. In San Fran he took a 81 yard run to the house but was called back because he was ruled out of bounds. Also that holding call on Sunday was questionable. But as the ritual goes giving things to your lineman, Johnson commemorated his stellar season by giving Rolex watches to his offensive linemen. The watches are engraved “CJ2K 2,006” and will be delivered this week to his teammates. Johnson also said he would like as many of them as possible to accompany him to the Pro Bowl. I will have to keep that in mind when I crack 1,000 next season myself ha ha.
