Chris Johnson, RB, Tennessee TitansNews | Statistics | Utilization | Depth Chart Titans | Johnson says he is an entertaining guy Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said he knows people are saying he is not a "team guy" based off his recent comments about wanting to be known as "Every Coach's Dream." Johnson said he is an entertaining guy and people have the wrong opinion about him after the comments. "People just can't get sensitive off a nickname," Johnson noted. He said there are not any problems between he and RB LenDale White. "We love playing with each other. We're friends," Johnson said. Titans | Team poking fun at Johnson's new self-proclaimed nickname Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher isn't sure RB Chris Johnson's self-proclaimed nickname, "Every Coach's Dream," fits. "Maybe with a few exceptions - playing the bongos ... and getting hurt in the playoff game," Fisher said. "I'm sure they'll come up with something else," Fisher said. "Dumb and Dumber or something." RB LenDale White also chimed in. "He's a little delirious. When he wakes up out of the dream he'll be all right. And the one thing about dreams is they are not real," White added. "I don't know him right now. I think it's the Pro Bowl stuff - ya'll created somebody we don't want to see." Titans | C. Johnson changes nickname Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson said he wants to no longer be considered as "Dash" in the tandem of "Smash and Dash" along with RB LenDale White. Instead, Johnson wants to be known as "Every Coach's Dream." Johnson added, "Smash and Dash have had a divorce - that's official. I have to be my own guy, so no more Smash and Dash, that was last year. Every Coach's Dream, that's me. Because they say every team has its own identity. I feel for me, I can't be noticed as a group any more. I am my own guy." Titans | C. Johnson needs help with touchdown celebrations Terry McCormick, of The City Paper, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson is soliciting fans suggestions for end zone celebrations that can rival those of Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco and Buffalo Bills WR Terrell Owens. "I'm going to test out celebrations," Johnson said. "I've gotten some, but I feel like I didn't get any one that caught my attention yet." Johnson was jokingly asked that if a fine comes his way because of a celebration, would he ask the fan who suggested it for any help paying for the infraction. "I'll pay the fine. If it's better than T.O. or Ochocinco, I'll pay the fine," Johnson said. Titans | C. Johnson struggles with dropped passes Friday Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson struggled with drops during the team's practice Friday, May 22. Johnson dropped two screen passes. Titans | Could utilize Ch. Johnson in more ways Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports the Tennessee Titans want to put RB 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." Titans | Ch. Johnson has lofty goals for 2009 Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson has lofty goals for the 2009 season. "I want to be NFL MVP, and lead the league in rushing," Johnson said. "I want to be named to another Pro Bowl. I like to set my goals high, and everything is possible." Titans | C. Johnson reports to team Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson reported to the team Tuesday, April 21, for the team's offseason program. He worked out on his own for a while with a personal trainer in Florida. The program is voluntary, but attendance is strongly encouraged. Head coach Jeff Fisher said he assumes Johnson is there now to work within the program, which began March 16. Fisher noted Johnson is in good shape but also added he feels Johnson will realize he is behind everybody else that has already been part of the offseason program. Titans | C. Johnson working out with personal trainer Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson has been working out four times a week in Orlando during the offseason and would like to play the entire 2009 season around 200 pounds. He started last season at that weight, but dropped to around 194 pounds later in the year. He felt he lost some strength as a result. Johnson noted he was not eating right, but plans to change that this year. "I'm planning on having an even better year," Johnson said. "I know more about what to expect." Titans | Would like to get C. Johnson the ball more in open space Terry McCormick, of The City Paper, reports the Tennessee Titans would like to get RB Chris Johnson the ball in open space more in 2009.
