Titans HC Mike Munchak admits that RB Chris Johnson doesn’t possess the same speed he did early in his career. “Is he a step slower? Yeah, I’m sure he is,” Munchak said. “I don’t know how you would measure that exactly, but I’m sure he has [lost a step].” It’s rare that a coach points out a player’s physical decline, so this is telling. Johnson has touched the ball a whopping 1,381 times over 4 NFL seasons. After averaging 5.3 yards per carry in his first 2 years, that number has plummeted to 4.2 over the last 2. We’d bet on a bounce-back in 2012.
