Titans’ RB Chris Johnson has won the NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award in the NFL.  He played in all 16 games for the Titans this season and he carried the ball 358 for 2,006 yards (5.6 ypc) with 14 TD runs and he also caught 50 passes for 503 yards (10.1 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Johnson finished with the 5th highest rushing total in NFL history as he became only the sixth player to ever rush for over 2,000 yards in one season.  He is also now the all-time leader in total yards from scrimmage with 2,569 total yards.

Defensive tackle Tony Brown has stepped up and played pretty well for the Titans this season.  He has played in 14 games for the Titans this year and he has 37 tackles, 4 tackles for a loss, 5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and he has defensed 1 pass.  Brown is leading the Titans in sacks this season as they have had a hard time getting much of a pass rush going which has led to them giving up 265.1 yards passing per game.  But, you can’t blame that on Brown who is doing his part.

Chris Johnson is having one of the best seasons ever in the NFL.  He has played in 14 games in which he has carried the ball 301 times for 1,730 yards (5.7 ypc) with 11 TD runs and he has also caught 44 passes for 446 yards (10.1 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Even early in the year when the Titans were having trouble throwing the ball and Johnson was facing extra defenders in the box he was still getting his yards.  He has averaged 155.4 yards from scrimmage this season and 6.3 yards every time he has touched the football showing just how electrifying he is.

32-year old linebacker Keith Bulluck just isn’t acting his age as he has been dominating so far this year.  Bulluck has played in 13 games for the Titans this season and he has 103 tackles, 3 tackles for a loss, 7 passes defensed and 3 interceptions.  He has now played 10 years for the Titans appearing in 156 games in which he has made 1,052 tackles, 68 passes defensed, 18 sacks, 15 forced fumbles and 19 interceptions (one of which he returned for a TD).  Bulluck is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down this season.

Since owner Bud Adams got his wish to start Vince Young at QB the Titans are 5-0 after starting the season 0-6.  The 26-year old Young has played in 7 games (5 starts) for the Titans so far this season and he has completed 83 of 132 passes (62.9%) for 1,010 yards with 4 TD passes and 2 INTs (90.2 QB Rating).  He has also carried the ball 40 times for 159 yards (4.0 ypc) with 1 TD run this season.  You have to wonder if this is a mirage or if Vince Young is capable of playing like this the rest of the year.  The reason I kind of doubt that he can keep playing like he is right now is because he has never shown anything like this in the past.  He has now played in 40 games for the Titans in his career in which he has completed 527 of 907 passes (58.1%) for 5,974 yards with 26 TD passes and 34 INTs (71.9 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 224 times for 1,133 yards (5.1 ypc) with 11 TD runs in his career.  It will be interesting to see if Young can deliver on his promise of getting his team to the playoffs or not.
