The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... HC Mike Munchak said Tuesday that he envisions Greene having a sizeable role in the team’s offense as an accompaniment to starter Chris Johnson. “We’re not going to have him as a short-yardage back, a goal-line back and four-minute back and that’s all he does," Munchak said of Greene. "We feel he can play all three downs. He may get a series where he gets going and we’re taking over the line of scrimmage and you want that runner in there and we leave him in there.”
Diehards Line:The coach also compared Greene to a former Titans great. “I know as a (former) line coach myself that we haven’t had a guy like that in a while,” Munchak said. “He reminds me of the Eddie George days -- a guy that can fall forward, a guy that’s physical, a guy that can understand his role. ..." Johnson, 27, is coming off a 1,243 rushing campaign. Johnson has gained at least 1,000 yards in all five of his NFL seasons, including a 2,006-yard effort in 2009. During that season, the huskier LenDale White served as Johnson’s backup. Munchak wanted the same type of big-bodied backup in 2013 after Javon Ringer and Jamie Harper failed to fill the role the past two years. ... Again, we'll be very interested to see how this one plays out -- and how Johnson feels about it.
