Bishop Sankey won't get to be third-down back
Tennessee Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said running back Leon Washington will continue handling most third downs, while rookie Bishop Sankey will keep playing on first and second down, reports ESPN.com. "I think Bishop will still get a chance to catch passes and protect on first and second down, as well as he did in the red zone, which got us down to the 2-yard line," Whisenhunt said."But one of the things you try to be consistent with is the protection and working together on things on third down. Leon's gotten most of those reps and has done a very good job of understanding it. Because a lot of times when you play a team that is giving you a bunch of different blitzes, like that team would, having a guy that understands that and can do it is important. "Now Bishop's got to be prepared, because obviously with an injury he goes in there. He does work at it. But you also don't want to give Bishop every snap." According to the website, Washington has played 75 of the team's 107 third downs. Dexter McCluster has played 22, Sankey six, Shonn Greene three and Jackie Battle three.
