Titans will use rushing committee

Titans head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he'll distribute rush attempts among his running backs depending on individual matchups each week, according to ESPN's Paul Kuharsky.

Tennessee doesn't have one primary back, and used a committee during their exhibition campaign to well enough effect. 

They used four rushers last season: Bishop Sankey, Shonn Greene, Dexter McCluster, and Antonio Andrews. The club drafted David Cobb in the fifth round of the NFL Draft in April.

Sankey was the main back, carrying for a team-high 152 rushes last season as a rookie from Washington. Greene and McCluster combined for 134 in relief, while Tennessee's backs rushed for six touchdowns, the second-least in the NFL.
