NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The man nicknamed "CJ2K" has the $53 million contract extension he wanted.

Now Titans running back Chris Johnson is off to the worst start of his career with fans booing and so frustrated they break down what yards he has gained by dollars earned to the inch.

Johnson said Wednesday he's as frustrated as he's ever been, but he knows his holdout and big contract make him an easy target for criticism.

He eased off a comment that he isn't the issue with a run game last in the NFL.

But the running back said he hasn't lost any speed and no one should question whether he's slowed down until he gets the chance to beat a defender one-on-one in the open field.

The Titans host Indianapolis on Sunday.
