Between The Posts: Fixing The Backfield

While nobody in Nashville was happy with the running game last season, Bishop Sankey seems to have become the favorite whipping boy. He was certainly not blowing anyone away, with only two runs of more than 15 yards on the year. But he was also subject to some woeful line play in front of him, as well as some extremely questionable play calling. Beyond this, the tendency for Whisenhunt to play his hand by substituting backs made Sankey's job all the harder (I mean, who doesn't want to see more Leon Washington draw runs on 3rd and forever?). And let's not ignore the fact that nobody was exactly scared of the Titans passing game last year either.
