"It was a loaded question, the kind Chris Johnson has fumbled too often in the past.

What are his goals for the upcoming season?

Uh-oh. Here we go again. What's it going to be - 2,000, 2,500 or even 3,000 rushing yards? League MVP? Unprecedented entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame while still playing?

"We haven't been to the playoffs in two years, so I want to get back to the playoffs, hopefully win the Super Bowl here," he said. "I've got a lot of team goals. We haven't been in the postseason, so that's the big thing this team hasn't done, and I've always got that goal to rush for 2,000 yards again."

OK, maybe he was coached up by his agent, Joel Segal. Perhaps he has taken note of some of the things that have been written about his fixation on his own statistics.

But now that he's gotten his payday from the Titans , Johnson seems focused on team accomplishments first, followed by personal glory.

Frankly, Johnson has gotten a bad rap among some fans for what is perceived as his infatuation with his own stats."
