One day after Chris Johnson killed the "Smash and Dash" nickname he shared with fellow running back LenDale White, and branched out on his own with "Every Coach's Dream," there were plenty of one-liners. Coach Jeff Fisher got in on the banter with digs at Johnson for his ankle injury in last season's playoff loss to the Ravens and for his drum-banging touchdown celebration against the Chiefs that resulted in a penalty flag and a fine. Johnson and White created the "Smash and Dash" moniker last season on the way to combining for 2,001 yards and 24 rushing scores. "I'm sure they'll come up with something else," Fisher said. "Dumb and Dumber or something."

Damn... So what does he call Vince Young??

Let them bicker. While other teams are bringing the drama as they prepare for the upcoming season, the Colts have been quietly working hard. I hope this is a good year for Indy.

Damn, Fisher way to take shots at your best offensive player......

Sounds like they're just having fun to me. And when players are having fun, they tend to play better. That's good because we franchised Johnson on our fantasy team...

They should look up the definition of MODESTY. Do you really have the time to worry about a nickname? Maybe you should focus on WINNING!

I'm sure you meant Rhodes scholar. Bad to bash somebody for their obvious lack of intelligence when you can't spell correctly. :O

I have to admit those 2 are a really good RB Combo but when they open their mouths they don't seem very swift at all. How bout we call them George Bush and Dick Cheney?

You know the Titans don't seemed focused on what really matters. And it is this kind of thing that will lead them to a bad record or an embarrassing display. Who cares about nicknames when you lost with home field advantage?
