56
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 6: and when we look back at some of the great

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 6: Titans that have been inducted, and we start talking about

58
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,200

00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 7: I love Tennessee, I love the city, the organization, everything.

68
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: I'm so excited for this.

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: And he belongs.

70
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, you know I remember when he did

71
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: get here in oh wait, and then practice You're like,

72
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 3: where's the speed, where's the speed? And then I'll never

73
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 3: forget that Oakland Raiders preseason game when that whole opened

74
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 3: up like the rest. Some people got speed, some people

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: are fast, but Chris Johnson always show he had the juice.

76
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: So that's my guy.

77
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: Well, the amazing thing about Chris Johnson six years with

78
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: the Titans, one thousand yards rushing in all six seasons,

79
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: and he missed one game in those six years. Crazy

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: one game. And you were held out of that game

81
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: the season finale in Indianapolis when the Titans had already

82
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: clinched in two thousand and eight, so technically you were

83
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 1: never not available to play. CJ. And I know for

84
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: nearly eight thousand yards rushing and thirty two one hundred

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: yard games and the two thousand yard season, all of

86
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: the things you're very proud of, but that durability was

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: something you're really proud of.

88
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: Too.

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, for sure. And that's one thing I always

90
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 7: pride myself on it. It's like, no matter what you do,

91
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 7: you could be the fastest guy in the row, you

92
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 7: can be the strongest guy in the row, but if

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 7: you're not available.

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 2: None of that that stuff matter.

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 7: And I always pride of myself on being able to

96
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 7: be available, being durable, and being there for my team

97
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 7: when they need me. I can remember my Yeah, my

98
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 7: last year with the Titans. Week two, I tore my

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 7: meniscus and I had a chance to either go get

100
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 7: surgery and miss the next eight weeks and come back

101
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 7: healthy at the end, I can sit there and stay

102
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 7: there and fight with my teammates and try to make

103
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 7: a playoff run. And you know, I decided not to

104
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 7: get the surgery and pay my last year. My whole

105
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 7: last year would have torn meniscus. And it's just all

106
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 7: about being available and being there with your team.

107
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: And the perfect guy in that way in terms of durability,

108
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: reliability and excellence to follow Eddie George really.

109
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you know, I think I said it last year,

110
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 3: like our mount rushmore of running backs is uncomparable to

111
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: any other organization.

112
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: You know, they'd have a tough argument.

113
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 3: When you think about the running backs, I'm obviously starting

114
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: with Earl Campbell, then you have Eddie Geordan, then you

115
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: have Chris Johnson, and then Derrick Henry who just finished

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 3: it up. You know, these guys paved the way for

117
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: what it means to be a Titans running back. And

118
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: it's great to have c J two K. You know

119
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: in this situation.

120
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: Now, this is a brotherhood that he's about to be

121
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 5: a part of people who are in the Tennessee Sports

122
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame, men and women. But it's a real

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 5: big deal to be a part of this group of people.

124
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: What does he have to look forward to?

125
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: You?

126
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: Oh, man, he just did the hard part.

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: You know, Brad is gonna get in touch with him,

128
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: let him know everything that it entails. The next hardest

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: thing is maybe you decide who all you're gonna invite.

130
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think the Tennessee Sports they have to

131
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: do a great event, they have a great weekend, they

132
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: have everything laid out.

133
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: For the inductees. That's what I'm saying. All you got

134
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 4: to do is show up.

135
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: The hardest thing is probably for him deciding who he's

136
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: actually gonna invite.

137
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: Because it is a great time.

138
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: And don't worry, man, you get in touch with Brad,

139
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: He's gonna make sure you know you got everything you need.

140
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a great wak.

141
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: For you of us. That's what's up.

142
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: The Titans have quite a wing now, Brad Willis of

143
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:05,840

Speaker 6: twenty three. I kind of feel like it's like the

00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: think one of the things that has stood out to

161
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: me getting a chance to host the dinner for several years,

162
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: and I bet you agree with this is how many

163
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: of the inductees come back every year for the dinner.

164
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 6: It really is and it's turned into a great event

165
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 6: just for you know, the sports community in in the

166
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 6: mid State and the entire state. Actually, you know, we

167
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 6: look forward to people coming back every year, getting to

168
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 6: celebrate the new class, but also giving a tip of

169
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 6: the cap to those who have been in before, because

170
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 6: it really is a great, as you said, brotherhood, a

171
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 6: great family, and we're really glad that that CJ is

172
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 6: a part of this, that you and Keith are part

173
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 6: of this, and that you know, we continue to you know,

174
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 6: have a great relationship with the Tennessee Titans in that respect.

175
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking about a CJ game and and I

176
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: go back to this when Chris November one, two thousand

177
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: and nine against Jacksonville, where you and Maurice Jones drew

178
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: sort of had like a two man game for a while.

179
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: Maurice Jones drew rush for one hundred and seventy seven yards,

180
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: he had two long touchdowns, and Chris had two hundred

181
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 1: and twenty eight yards rushing. My guys two long touchdowns

182
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: set the franchise record that day, and that was the

183
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: day where it became apparent. And I said this in

184
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: the post game. I said, now, this guy's starting to

185
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: knock on the door that if he gets hot down

186
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: the stretch, two thousand yards is not out of the

187
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 1: realm of possibility. Do you remember that day against the Jaguars,

188
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: who of course are from your home state.

189
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 7: Yes, I definitely remember that day because I even remember

190
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 7: that week.

191
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 2: That's probably like one of the fast the fastest meetings.

192
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 7: That we had, the team meetings where you come in

193
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 7: on on Wednesday and Jeff Fisher just put it up

194
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 7: on the board and he was like, hey, at the

195
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 7: end of the day, whichever one of you guys have

196
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 7: the most resting yards, that's who gonna win his game.

197
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: And the meeting was over.

198
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 7: You know, right then, I just know it was gonna

199
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 7: be a yeah, it's gonna be a heavyweight fight right there.

200
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 7: Like it was going back and forth, back and forth,

201
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 7: and I ended up on top of you know, win

202
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 7: that game.

203
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: But I'm glad you took one for the team, not yet,

204
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 3: because the defense definitely didn't show up.

205
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: For you. As you watch the combine again this year,

206
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 1: and you see players going after what technically is John

207
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Ross's record because he broke your four four two four

208
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: forty not easy to say. Do you watch that? Do

209
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: you watch those guys going for the low figures? And

210
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: could you have gone blow four to four?

211
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: Man, I'm not gonna lie.

212
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 7: I used to watch it every year, but after my

213
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 7: record got broke, I stopped watching it. Yeah, I start

214
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 7: I stopped watching it and then, like, and not just

215
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 7: because it got broke, because I kind of feel like

216
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 7: it was some funny business going on with it, because

217
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 7: like when they did the side by side, I beat

218
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 7: John Ross, but his time still beat mine. But at

219
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 7: the end of the day would make me so like,

220
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 7: you know, records I meant to get broken, and you know,

221
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 7: I'm proud of these younger guys and stuff like that.

222
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 7: But what a lot of people don't understand. What mates

223
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 7: my my forty yard dad so special? Is I ran

224
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 7: my fortune for a two hundred pounds. You look at

225
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 7: all these guys they like one, sixty one, sixty five.

226
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Right, went seventeen.

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 7: I'm thirty forty pounds heavier than than these guys.

228
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: So that's why yeah, so yeah, so yeah.

229
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Did you ever time below four to two four at

230
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: any other forty that you ran at any point.

231
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, in college, my junior day before my senior year,

232
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 7: I ran a four one eight when the scouts came out,

233
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 7: I ran a four one eight that day or whatever.

234
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 7: And that's kind of what helped me get on the

235
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 7: scene a little bit right there before my senior year.

236
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 7: But yeah, it was. It was pretty fast that day.

237
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,079
Speaker 7: We ran inside on the track.

238
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: And you know what's impressive about him is this was

239
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: not a track man running. This was a football player,

240
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: a legitimate football player. Because I know and they and

241
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: they show some of the track guys and how fast

242
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: they could run the forty. I get it. But those

243
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: guys are step over, step over, sip it. It's not cutting,

244
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: it's not anything like that. It's a whole different sort

245
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: of training. And for him to run that fast, I've

246
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: never seen anything like it.

247
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I've heard about him. You know,

248
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 3: we got the fastest guy in the draft. And then,

249
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: like I said, that one game he just turned it

250
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 3: on and then ever since then, you know.

251
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 4: CJ was must see TV. One of the most.

252
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: Electrifying players and dynamic, that's a word that's used a lot.

253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 3: When you think of dynamic players, CJ two K is

254
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 3: a the dynamic player that you I really think of

255
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 3: when it comes to Titans offenses.

256
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 5: Well, that's the thing. When you think about Titans offense,

257
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 5: when you think about the Tennessee Titans in general, time

258
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 5: after time after time, Chris Johnson's name comes up. We

259
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 5: still see his jerseys all across Nashville. When people talk

260
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 5: about their best Titans moments, their favorite Titans games, nine

261
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 5: times out of ten, they're Chris Johnson plays. They're Chris

262
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 5: Johnson moments. There are so many things that he's given

263
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,079
Speaker 5: to this organization and to the state of Tennessee in general.

264
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 4: CJ.

265
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 5: Knowing that that's your legacy has got to be special.

266
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, it's definitely special with me, Like with like

267
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 7: a lot of people, they talk about the two thousand yards,

268
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 7: the twenty five hundred, but like, like you can ask boy,

269
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 7: like what what gets to me is like when when

270
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 7: I come back to Nashville and like me and boy

271
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 7: go out to eat or whatever, like people still treat

272
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 7: us like we're playing for the Titans still today, you

273
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, Like it's crazy, like to be

274
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 7: for something long and still be able to come back

275
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 7: there and still get that same treatment from the fence,

276
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 7: the city of Nashville, the like where we're going to stores,

277
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 7: the restaurants, so wherever we at, they still treat us

278
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 7: like we play for the Titans and like that's one

279
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 7: of the best things. And people always ask me, like

280
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 7: like I played for Tennessee, I played for Arizona, I

281
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 7: played for the Jets, and they asked me my favorite place,

282
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 7: and it's always Tennessee because not just the team, but

283
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 7: the city, the organization, all of that.

284
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 2: Like they treat us so well.

285
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,960

Speaker 1: at Farm Bureau Health Plans have been in business for

290
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: seventy seven years. Chris, I do want to ask you

291
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: one thing about two thousand and nine. Not only did

292
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: you rush for two thousand yards, but you had fifty

293
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: catches for over five hundred yards. You average over ten

294
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: yards of catch, which for a running back is unusual.

295
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: Put up the huge total, over twenty five hundred total

296
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: yards the record. I think it's the greatest year in

297
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: the history of running backs statistically. I mean, you did

298
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: it so many different ways. Is the twenty five hundred

299
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: plus what you're most proud of about that year?

300
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

301
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 7: For me, it is like like it is because you

302
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 7: have eight guys that have wrestled two thousand yards. You

303
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 7: have nobody ever in history or to have over twenty

304
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 7: five hundred total yards.

305
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: And what's so crazy about it? What's so crazy about it? Why?

306
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 7: I do kind of understand why a lot of people

307
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 7: kind of don't talk about it or kind of realize it,

308
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 7: because even when I did it, I didn't even know

309
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 7: I broke the record, Like I just knew I wrestled

310
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 7: two thousand yards that day.

311
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: I didn't know that.

312
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 7: I had the record for the most scrimmage yards until

313
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 7: the day after when I was doing the interview about

314
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 7: the two thousand yards, and I forgot who I was

315
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 7: having an interview with, and they brung it up and

316
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 7: I was like, for real, well, I brought martiall fault record,

317
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 7: So it was.

318
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: Kind of crazy.

319
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 7: I didn't even know I did it when I did it,

320
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 7: But like for me to do that. And for like

321
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 7: when people talk about Hall of Fame and all type

322
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 7: of stuff, It's like, I don't see how I can

323
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 7: be left out when I have When I could say

324
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 7: I had the best season for a running back in

325
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 7: NFL history, no one has ever done what I'd done.

326
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 7: Like you say, fifty catches five hundred yards and to

327
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 7: have two thousand yards on top of that, it's amazing.

328
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: That's why you put him in the Tennessee Sports Hall

329
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: of Fame. Right, we could have done it just based

330
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: on that, but there was so much more. And I

331
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 1: want you to go back to East Carolina for a second.

332
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: Wasn't there a moment in your college career where they thought,

333
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: let's move Chris Johnson to wide receiver full time?

334
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a moment.

335
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 7: So when I came in my first two years I

336
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 7: started at running back, and then my third year, I

337
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 7: like I think it.

338
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: Was the second game of the season, I ended up

339
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: hurt my toe. I had turf toe.

340
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 7: So when I came I missed like four weeks, and

341
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 7: when I came back, they wanted to move me the

342
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 7: receiver because running back that we had in he was

343
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 7: having a pretty good year within those games that I

344
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 7: was out, and when I came back, they wanted me

345
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 7: to more the receiver.

346
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: And when I think about it today, how the day's.

347
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 7: Game is and you could play fifteen, sixteen, seventeen years

348
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 7: making fifteen million dollars a year.

349
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 2: Hey, I should have gave it more, thoughts.

350
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: I think you get it back at the end of

351
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: the day.

352
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, But at the end of the day, like back

353
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 7: then when I was coming in, like to the draft

354
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 7: and stuff, the game of football was different. It was

355
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 7: the running back. The running back in twenty five thirty

356
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 7: touches a game. The game didn't changed. So like at

357
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 7: that time, I knew I was a running back. I

358
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 7: knew that that's what I've been practicing hard all my

359
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 7: life for it, and that's what I wanted to do. So,

360
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 7: you know, the rest of that year, I played some

361
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 7: receiver and I played some running back, and then came

362
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 7: back my senior year and they moved me back to

363
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 7: running back end that's where it went.

364
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: Somebody made the mistake when you were drafted of saying

365
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to the late great Mike Heimerdinger that, oh, you're you're

366
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: bringing him in to be a gimmick back, to be

367
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: to be you know, to be a guy who lines

368
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: up all over the place he goes. I mean he

369
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: was hot. Heimerdinger was the guy who stood on the

370
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: table for you. There were a lot of people who

371
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: were for you, but Heimer Dinger was certainly at the

372
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: top of the list. And he said, oh no, he said,

373
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: this guy is a every down weapon in the backfield.

374
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: Mike Kimer Dinger believed in Chris Johnson. And it took that,

375
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: didn't it.

376
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely did.

377
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 7: And like, man, I still remember to this day, like

378
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 7: anytime anytime Mike, anytime Mike talk to me and told

379
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 7: me to come to his office, it was like, dang

380
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 7: well out indeed and did something right. So there's one

381
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 7: particular day he's like, yeah, I have to practice, come

382
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 7: to my office. I need to talk to you. I'm

383
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 7: like and this was in this was training camp, and

384
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 7: I'm like, what I then did?

385
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 4: Now?

386
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 7: So he came in there like he told me that

387
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 7: same as that story. He was like, hey, you little mother,

388
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 7: you love mother effort. Hey you better make me look good,

389
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 7: don't make me look bad. So he told me about

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 7: that whole situation.

391
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: All right, Chris Johnson, who is the first person that

392
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,880

398
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 7: all the way through high school, college, making all those

399
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 7: long drives from Orlando all the way up to Greenville,

Speaker 2: Those two guys for sure.

412
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: All right. Amy Adams Strunk, the Titans controlling owner, and

413
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson have a special relationship, don't they.

414
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: Absolutely, Chris, it seems like you're around all the time

415
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 5: and every time we see you in Nashville, Amy Adams

416
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 5: Strunk is kind of around you guys have really gotten

417
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: to know each other throughout the years, right.

418
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we have a whole lot. Man.

419
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 7: I tell people a lot of times I wish, like,

420
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 7: you know, as a RP, the the butt on Adams.

421
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: But like at the time when I was there, you.

422
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 7: Know, he wasn't really around because you know, he was

423
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 7: going through his health issues and stuff like that. But

424
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 7: I could have wished like she was there because I

425
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 7: really feel like I would have probably stayed with Tennessee

426
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 7: a lot longer if miss Amy was there because me

427
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 7: and her, I feel like we would have established a

428
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 7: relationship when I was there, Like I couldn't even really

429
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 7: tell you many people from upstairs.

430
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: I didn't have a relationship with anybody. So even when

431
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: I was.

432
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 7: Going through the things I was going through as far

433
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 7: as like you know, contract negotiations and those type of

434
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 7: things about staying with Tennessee are leaving, like I really

435
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 7: had nobody that I could have had a conversation with.

436
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 7: Jeff Fisher was gone, he didn't want to brought me

437
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 7: in there. Bhima Dinger was gone, So I didn't really

438
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 7: have anybody that I could have a conversation with or

439
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 7: sit down with, or that I didn't even have anybody

440
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 7: phone numbers to have those type of conversations with. So

441
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 7: I feel like if she was there, I would have

442
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 7: been there a lot longer and I would have had

443
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 7: a better relationship with the upstairs.

444
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: Mentioned that Seat Geek is the official ticketing partner of

445
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,760

Speaker 5: So Titans fans fan, all.

449
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: Right, CJ, one more before we let you go on

450
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: this special OTP, give us your thoughts on the pairing

451
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: of Taj Spears and Tony Pollard for twenty twenty four

452
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: in the Titans backfield.

453
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 7: Man, I think it can be dynamic if Tony come

454
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 7: in and do the things that he was doing in Dallas,

455
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 7: especially when he was there with Zeke, and if Taj

456
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 7: continue do the things that he was doing when he

457
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 7: got those opportunities to come in the game. Both of

458
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 7: those guys are talented guys. Both of those guys have

459
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 7: some speed and can definitely be dynamic. So if we

460
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 7: can get a nice one to two punch with those guys,

461
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 7: especially with us again, Kevin Ridley in there, I think

462
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 7: will be Okay, what do you think?

463
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so.

464
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 3: I think it gives the defense a lot to worry about.

465
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: I also like the moves that they made there and

466
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: getting a veteran lineman to kind of anchor that I

467
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 3: CJ just mentioned Calvin Ridley.

468
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 4: So I think coach is putting together a nice.

469
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: Offense that I'm gonna make defenses be on their toes

470
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: even game one of the season.

471
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: Okay, Chris Johnson, we're gonna wrap it up here. So

472
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,359
