Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports the Tennessee Titans want to put running back Chris Johnson to work even more this season. That could mean more carries and more catches, but also more creative ways to get them. "There's places we can move him, routes we can run with him, looks we can do with him that we held back last year because I thought I was stretching him too much," offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger said. "But C.J. needs to show he can do those things and he'll work at it. And the more he shows the more we can give him. If C.J. wants to learn it and work at it then we have a chance to move him all around the place." Mancini's Take: The Titans have done a fine job of developing the centerpiece of their offense by not overburdening him with too much last year. That being said, I also believe that he was underutilized as a pass receiver. I'm sure the coaching staff was disappointed with the fact that CJ would drop gimme screen passes from time to time, and that's why Heimerdinger is cautiously optimistic about opening up the playbook for the second-year man. For my money, Ross, I can see Tennessee's offense really taking off at some point with the additions of Nate Washington, Kenny Britt, Jared Cook, and the continued improvement of the aforementioned Johnson. Titan fans with Super Bowl dreams just better hope that Kerry Collins stays in one piece.  Trackback(0)
