    Or...

    How about some fans just want to congratulate a player who is playing well.

    Some Titans play 2 opponents every week. The professional football teams they play. And the professional haters.

    And so just like that the o line has gone from worst to best. Yes the online was sucking but I'm not buying it was all their fault. A single player can turn it around but a collective group doesn't just decide to all start playing awesome and springing their RB for huge chunks of yardage. Granted buffalo sucks so they did look pretty good there, but I think it has had a lot to do with CJ wanting huge runs that weren't there and play calling imo. I hope he continues to be the best in the league from week four on because god knows he was the worst in the history of the NFL for the first three.

    No just like that the OL played a team they could handle up front. It was the same thing last season. When we played the weaker front 7s against the run CJ wasn't mugged in the back field and he had some nice stats.

    I'm not sure where this idea comes from the RB is going to be that much different from one week to the next. Like CJ sucks one week and is one of the NFL's best the next? These arguments are always one sided. Like it can't be a combination of play calling, CJ hitting the holes quicker and the OL actually not getting knocked back but instead holding their blocks. And as for CJ losing a step I sure didn't see it.

    We should just hope the whole running game is now in sync instead of just going out of our way to bash CJ. For example, I think Velasco is improving as he gets more comfortable playing C and he has played well. He might be our long term guy. His growth has helped for sure. Look at the positive and hope this can be a good thing we carry over into the rest of the season.

    I'm not a CJ basher by any means I just don't like all the blame going on the line when CJ would clearly dance around in the backfield instead of getting 4yards. Yes the run blocking has been bad and holes haven't been there or close up quick but I have watched CJ on occasion try to bounce outside with a hole right in front of him that could have gotten him positive yards. I think it is a combination of everything line, play calling, and CJ. Houston has a pretty stoUT front 7 and we moved the ball pretty well on them. If CJ get positive yards then munch/Palmer give him the ball more. When he gets the ball more he has more opportunities for the home run. Thus he has had a better stretch over the last 3 or 4 games. Like I said earlier I hope the run game continues to get better and show that 2009 explosivness again.
