Former Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson put together a great NFL career individually, but unfortunately for one of the better players in franchise history, that didn’t translate to his team winning all that much.

Blame it on whatever you want, but Johnson only saw one playoff season during his six-year stint in Nashville, which came in his rookie campaign. Furthermore, the team never made the kind of big splash it did recently.

Fast forward to 2021 and the Titans are going for it after the acquisition of Julio Jones in a trade with the Atlanta Falcons — and that’s something Johnson appreciates, per TMZ Sports.

“I wish I could’ve played there when we had that GM,” Johnson said. “They doing what they got to do to win games.”

Johnson went on to explain what makes defending the Titans’ three-headed monster, which consists of Jones, A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry, so difficult:

“There’s no way you can put eight, nine in the box on Henry. You got Julio on the outside. You got A.J. on the other side. So, you can’t stack the box or anything like that… It’s crazy” Johnson explained.

Our thoughts exactly.

“I wish they would have made them moves when I was there,” the 2009 AP Offensive Player of the Year and 2,000-yard club member said. “You love that move. You don’t want to continue to run against eight and nine in the box. You don’t want to do that.”

While clearly optimistic about Tennessee’s team, Johnson rightly pointed out that the Titans still have to get it done on the field.

“Everything look good on paper,” Johnson said. “We got to go out there and prove it.”

Johnson isn’t the only one hyped to see what the Titans will look like this coming season. Everyone from analysts to fans are expecting big things from Tennessee’s bolstered unit in 2021.
