Titans’ running back LenDale White isn’t a happy camper after getting only one carry in Tennessee’s 34-13 loss to the Jets on Sunday.
“I have been over it. It is a game, so what?’’ White said. “You would like to win it, but it is one game, so what? … I only played three plays so I really couldn’t tell you what happened, I don’t really know, I wasn’t paying attention, I didn’t care really.’’
White wouldn’t say if the game would’ve been different had he played. Rookie Chris Johnson had 46 yards on 10 carries, but had a fumble that led to a touchdown.
“You never know, man,” White said. “I can’t tell you that. I don’t know if I would have gotten the ball 30 times if we would have won the game or not. I would like to be involved more, but if I am not involved I would like somebody to tell me what’s going on. Coming into these games, you expect to get certain carries or see certain things going on at least that’s what they tell you.
“And then you get in these games and then randomly you only play three plays. I just wish somebody would let me know what’s going on before I go out there. Three plays, I don’t know what you want me to do with three plays. I don’t know what three plays is helping me do.”
White said he had not had a conversation with coaches, and wasn’t sure if he would.
“I ain’t got no conversation for nobody, I don’t care,’’ White said. “If they have something to tell me, if they need to tell me I’m not going to play, then they should tell me, you know?”
I know he’s frustrated, but there’s no reason for White not to be paying attention on the sideline. This shows a lack of maturity on his part for not always being involved in the game, whether he’s on the field or not. It is befuddling that the Titans would only use him for three plays, but they’re 10-1 on the year and don’t need White to become a distraction.
