Antonio Smith has said that the Houston Texans must stop the Tennessee Titans from running the ball during their game later today.
The Titans focused on rushing during their 16-9 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.
The Texans defensive end told reporters: "From watching the film, that's exactly what they want to do. They did a whole drive of just running the ball. To have a whole drive running the ball, you've got to be able to pick up first downs.
"Our job is to stop them from running it, let our offense score, stop them from running it again, let our offense score again. Let's see how much ground and pound they do then.
"[Chris Johnson is] probably one of the fastest running backs in the league. If you give him an open, he's going to take it. The thing about Chris Johnson is there's not one specific hole he's going to run the ball into. He's going to bounce it out. He'll take it wherever he sees the opportunity."
Smith returns to action this week, having been suspended for the opening game of the season.
