Fisher Suggests New Nickname For Tailback Tandem

Titans running back Chris Johnson recently proclaimed that he’s separating from the “Smash and Dash” nickname with fellow Titans running back Lendale White, and that Johnson prefers to be known as “Every Coach’s Dream.” Coach Jeff Fisher addressed the situation on Wednesday. “I’m sure they’ll come up with something else,” Fisher said, according to Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean. “Dumb and Dumber or something.’’ As to the “Every Coach’s Dream” moniker for Johnson only, Fisher seemed to be willing to at least consider it. “Maybe with a few exceptions,” Fisher said. “Playing the bongos . . . and getting hurt in the playoff game.’’ Meanwhile, Johnson and White are taking what Wyatt calls “somewhat playful jabs” at each other regarding Johnson’s desire to have his own nickname. They don’t seem so playful to us. “He is a little delirious,” White said of Johnson. “When he wakes up out of the dream he’ll be all right. And the one thing about dreams is they are not real. So if you’re the coach’s dream, you are not real. . . . “I don’t know him right now. I think it’s the Pro Bowl stuff -- y’all created somebody we don’t want to see.’’
