Titans need to start over on offense

After today's 29-27 loss, to the previously winless Jacksonville Jaguars, you have to notice something is off about the Titans. The same team that dominated the Jets and began 3-1 are now 4-5 after losing the last 4 of 5. The big difference that I see is their turnovers. They began the year 3-1 because of their ability to hold onto the ball. They had no turnovers in those games and since then, have turned the ball over 14 times. You simply cannot win turning the ball over so much.

This is clearly due to the inconsistencies of Jake Locker who began the year with 6 TD's and 0 INT's as well as the lack of run game with Chris Johnson. Johnson exploded in their 28-21 win with 150 yards but is due to the Rams inefficient run defense that ranks second worst in the NFL. Other than that one game, Johnson has carried it 115 times for 366 yards. That's 3.1 YPC. For the money he's making and the high level of play he's expected to be at, this is unacceptable. The fact that the Titans are supposed to be a run-first team makes this even more obvious. Locker's also been inconsistent. After his great opening, he got injured in a Jets game where he looked unstoppable that took him out for 2 games. After his return, he now has thrown for 2 TD's and 4 INT's and not looked good doing so.

The Titans need to get rid of their once prime-time RB Johnson and get what they can for him. An idea I brought up a few times would be to give up Johnson and Britt for a good draft pick. There are plenty of teams that could use a quick running back who is great in the open field. Kenny Britt would just be a shoo-in but he has the ability to have great upside. Britt needs to find a new home and start over as a receiver. My thought is they give them to a team like the Falcons who are dying for some sort of offense with White and Jones on and off with injuries as well as their terrible run game starring the veteran Steven Jackson.

With the two 1st round draft picks, the Titans could draft a late first round quarterback in any of the great quarterbacks coming out of college in Louisville's Bridgewater, LSU's Mettenberger, or any of the other quarterbacks as insurance purposes for the injury prone Jake Locker.
