I don't think it's that critical that he is.

I'm sure I'm undervaluing the Titans, but I think they are beatable with Holland in the lineup.

I look at the Titans and they live off of turnovers and the running game. I have confidence that this defense can contain the run.

Stop Chris Johnson, you stop Tennessee.

If Dallas loses this game, it is because of Dallas.

Ayuh, pretty simple you stop Chris Johnson, you stop the Titans.

They don't have the weapons to beat us in the passing game.

Kenny Britt is probably their only threat at the deep ball.

The Titans have a vastly superior head coach.

I don't think we'll shut down Chris Johnson. He's gonna break a few like he almost always does.

They're beatable. But so is Dallas.

They're a well coached team with a great run game and a pretty solid defense. We either bring our best game or we fall to 1-3.

Right, we won't shut CJ down completely, but keeping him under a 100 yards would be a great advantage.

The guy is an amazing runner.

You can shut him down all game and then make one mistake and he's got his 100 yards. He's that good and that fast.

Agreed, CJ is the biggest threat at RB I think in the NFL. Gonna take a lot to keep him contained. I think Dallas can. If Dallas can get their offense in order, keep up the scoring, possibly turning it into a shoot out type of deal. I like Dallas's chances. If this is one of those knock em out, last play wins game. Dallas is done.

Boy, I just don't see the Titans lighting up the Cowboy defense... Not without the Cowboy team being like -4 in turnovers for the game.

That's what I'm looking for, not a smash mouth running game against the Titans, because we are out matched with Chris Johnson.

We have good backs, but none of them compare to CJ.

I'd love to see Felix Jones get 25 carries in a game and see what kind of numbers he could generate.

He'd have to break a few to look good.

That's the only way any back can have good numbers with this collection of shat along the offensive line. You have to break one to make up for the plethora of 0 and 1 yard carries.

We are out matched playing smash mouth football because they have Chris Johnson?

Yeah, I dont' get that one either Cowboysrule122. If anything, Titans are, they don't have a bruising RB, just a quick one. I don't see their O-line blowing up to many folk either. Hopefully Dallas's line can get it done.

Yeah, My money is on Chris Johnson and Javon Ringer.

If our team can show us that they can run the football more effectively , then I would say our group of backs.

You are missing the point. Johnson is not a smashmouth runner.

No . . . he isn't.

But you don't need to have a bullish back to run smashmouth football. A heavy offensive line, multiple tight ends and physical receivers continually attacking the defense, as opposed to droping back in pass protection or running routes, is smashmouth football.

True. The Titans have a hellish OLINE. Was watching them on NFL Network, and I could only be envious: of the players and especially the OLINE coach.
