Quotes by Jeff Fisher

“He said if it wouldve been anybody other than the defensive back he wouldve slid, but he figured he had some size on him. He feels good, got some kinks worked out and some problems, made some nice throws and was managing the offense well.”

“He took one, then he delivered one on purpose. He assured me had it been anybody other than a DB, he wouldve gone down.”

“Well, were catching the ball, so that is a start. Weve had some difficulties fielding the ball in the past, but weve got confidence now in both (Thurman) and (Roby). So, it starts there.”

“We knew there was going to be a chance that he may be released. Coach Sherman coached him up there and knew him very well. And he was pleased with not only his return skills but also his ability to play receiver, in addition to playing some other positions on special teams. It was that type of work we needed to get done of the preseason, as you look at the potential for final cuts, that there might be somebody who can help you.”

“The challenge this week is we have an offense that can do both now — they can run it and they can throw it very, very well,”

“Statistics will explain what happened (Sunday), theres no question. The penalties, the turnovers and our inability to stop the run.”

“I think the thing I am most pleased with is how good it is to see an inexperienced team accept the challenge that they did this week. The defense, the tackling in the running game, the turnovers, the sacks that werent there last week were here. We told them if they just work at the little things, they would come.”

“It was good to see Pac on the field. It looked to me he made some plays. I dont know about the [penalty]. It was a very athletic play to get his hand on the ball. I think the assumption was that he went through the receiver.”

“Weve got two offenses that can really strike and put points on the board. You cant change your philosophy, you have to be aggressive and do those things and obviously we havent looked ahead, but we certainly recognize the challenges we have.”

“It was a horse-collar, it is no question,”

Its my personal opinion, and I firmly believe, that its important that I keep sports and politics separate.

I guess its sad that anybody, regardless of profession, that theyre in this country, would take a shot at our military.
