Fisher still looking for feature back


The Titans had tremendous success running the ball against Jacksonville in the season opener, with Chris Brown producing 175 yards on 19 carries and LenDale White adding 66 yards on 18 totes. And while Titans coach Jeff Fisher told the Tennessean he plans to continue using both backs, he added that he would like to establish one as getting 60 percent of the carries. It may even end up being a game-to-game situation, with Brown more effective when the Titans spread out a bigger defense like the Jaguars and White getting a larger share against smaller, faster teams like this week's opponents, the Colts. Of course, neither back is noted for their durability so the feature gig might go to whichever can stay healthy the longest. It certainly isn't the ideal fantasy situation.
