"Tennessee running backs LenDale White and Chris Johnson have picked up the nicknames Smash 'n' Dash for their respective running styles. White provides the muscle, Johnson the speed. They lived up to their nicknames Sunday in the Titans' 28-9 win over the Browns at LP Field. Johnson, a rookie from East Carolina, rushed for 136 yards on 19 carries. White finished with 99 yards on 24 carries. "Every team knows Tennessee -- no matter if its Smash and Dash or if its just LenDale or just me -- we're going to run the ball," said Johnson, who went over 1,000 yards for the season. "They just come in and try to stop us. That just makes us work even harder." Both White and Johnson scored a ..."

"Some people saw LenDale White as a thug after he drew police citations for his disturbing behavior outside a Denver nightclub in March. That characterization must be seriously questioned now, though, because new evidence in the form of White's reaction to the Tennessee Titans' loss to the New York Jets on Sunday indicates that he is actually just brain dead. And if you're brain dead, then you're not necessarily a bad guy … you're just a dumb guy! Here was White's mature, team-first response to the Titans' first loss of the season after 10 consecutive victories - delivered while skillfully screwing the diamond stud back into his ear: • "I only played three plays, so I couldn't really ..."

"Titans running back LenDale White was placed on probation after pleading guilty to disturbing the peace during an incident earlier this year in Denver, according to a judicial assistant in Denver’s General Sessions Court on Tuesday. White must attend an anger management class, but if he stays out of trouble for the next 12 months the case will be dismissed as part of a deferred judgement. All other charges against White were dismissed by Judge James Breese during White’s court appearance, when he paid $91 in court costs. White was placed on unsupervised probation. White was initially charged with municipal code violations of interference, resistance, refusal of an officer and destruction ..."

"No one has told LenDale White he's been demoted, and the Titans running back hasn't gone into the coach's office stomping mad, looking for answers. White said he's satisfied with his reduced role on an undefeated team, and those around him said his attitude has been positive. White doesn't have much choice in the matter. He's been forced into the backseat by rookie Chris Johnson, who is off to a strong start. "I am not really upset about the way the carries are going. We're 5-0, and I know the coaches have confidence in me," White said. "Believe me, if I felt something was wrong and I needed the ball more, I have enough confidence in myself I am not going to shy down and close my mouth." ..."

Nashville City Paper

"Running back LenDale White said Tuesday that a shoulder injury that has cost him time in practice was a primary reason he got only three carries in Sunday's 13-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. White, who had split carries evenly with Chris Johnson for the first three games of the season, had 11 carries against Minnesota and scored a touchdown, but had just three rushes for four yards Sunday. Johnson had 18 rushes for 44 yards against the Ravens. "I was injured. I'm pretty sure my shoulder was down on the injury report. I didn't practice for a couple of days at the first of the week," White said Tuesday. White said he is not unhappy over his lack of carries Sunday and pointed to the ..."
