    Imagine if we had a really good powerful back to put out there with CJ to help the run game.If we would've had Blount here and Fisher wouldn't screwed that up then we might've gotten those one or two yards that CJ never gets on on third and short.Wasn't it the New Orleans game near the end where we couldn't even gain one yard on fourth and one? If we had a big physical back he would've gained that one yard and we would've scored and most likely beat New Orleans.We are anemic in many areas espcially in the rushing department.

    Doenst matter what back is there with the run blocking that the team is getting.

    I mean I get your wish list. however Id rather have a fixed oline and another GOOD WR than any compliment back that we have to spend or pay anything for.

    Agree with ya.Get another good receiver and fix the oline.Once we fix the line the running game should improve.

    If Britt heals and we get another good receiver in here through draft or free agency and Nate Washington of course then we will be doing better than we have in years at WR.

    Locker ends up being pretty good at QB and our defense play well we will be good next season.

    Exactly. A good run o line again. With that in place, if we can keep the d honest and stretch the field, imagine the type of draw plays cj could bust off...

    Locker clearly got that yard plus most of the next one, refs screwed the Titans on the spot

    heard Mawe, union thug and some posters solution to the OL issue, on the radio while I was getting ready for work. Probably an interview from first month of 2011 season. Anyways when KM was asked about the Titans switching too a zone blokcing concept KM said that all NFL teams use the same blocking techniques they just call them different names.

    I dont know what too think of that as I appears the Titans have a lot of OL blocking air this year and historically the OL went forth and punished whoever happened too be in front of them.

    Ill just put it down to him being a communist - lol

    Peyton Hillis is a free agent this year and probably won't be resigned by Cleveland. If he doesn't demand starter's money, should we sign him to complement CJ? I think a power back like Hillis could do wonders, but I definitely think that upgrading the O-line is of higher priority (really hoping we can pick up Chris Myers in FA because I would rather not have a rookie starting center)

    a power back RB destined to get 10-12 carries on the best sundays should be cheap. League minimum cheap. Should have tons of guys scrambling too get here and try out for it. Hillis probably will not be that guy IMO. Not that he could not be that guy but because he will probably be starting somewhere else.

    Considering Hillis was holding out for CJ money, I kinda doubt that he would want to come to the Titans for league minimum'ish money to be a back up.
