LenDale White unnecessarily slammed

I am not a LenDale White fan, on or off the field.

To say, however, as his Titans running mate Chris Johnson has intimated (look it up, Chris), that White was riding his coattails last year by suggesting a nickname for the running tandem, is inaccurate.

While Johnson had a nice rookie season, White rushed for 15 touchdowns, the 11th highest total in NFL history and a franchise second only to Earl Campbell's 19. And they were not all for less than five yards, another inaccurate slam aimed at White by others, not Johnson. And what if they were? It still requires a talent not every power back has in abundance.

In just now shunning last year's nickname, Johnson could have been a little more considerate.

Expect Johnson to start referring to himself in the third person any day now, as Vince Young has recently picked up on himself.

That said, also expect White to be an ex-Titan starting next season.
