"Kerry's our starter. He gives us the best chance to win."

TITANS HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER

“You know, I really felt after this week’s preparation this team was ready to play. Obviously we didn’t get it done in the first half. We ended up, when it’s all said and done, got beat in all three phases. Where we go from here? We go back to work. That’s what we do. We go back to work and keep working and we try to win a ballgame. That’s what our emphasis is going to be. Sorry I don’t have anything more enlightening for you. That’s the way it is. It’s not fun. We don’t like it, they don’t like it, and we’ve got some work to do.”

(on if he questions his team’s effort at all) “I’m not questioning their effort at all. They were ready to play. We had a good week, a great session all week. They were ready to play. What happens is when you don’t make plays, the big plays … you know, energy feeds off of big plays. When you get three-and-out and you’re giving up a drive, it’s hard to get energy. We need to make plays. We have a fourth-and-two at the start of the game, and the defense is three-and-out, we get a facemask penalty, give up a scoring drive. Then you get a poor kickoff and you have a horse collar tackle, and field position and things, they just slip away. There are little things that compounded on us today.”

(on if there’s a greater sense of urgency for the team) “This team’s practicing hard, it’s preparing hard, it’s just not winning ballgames. Today we got beat.”

(on if he needs more out of QB Kerry Collins) “We need more out of everybody. We need more out of me. We all need to come back to work. And everybody needs to do a little better job.”

(on what it would take for backup QB Vince Young to get in the game) “Kerry’s our starter. Kerry gives us the best chance to win. There was a little bit of life left. We got some points and if we would’ve got the onside kick, it might have quieted down and he might have put his starters back in. That was my decision today, to stay with him and try to find a way to win.”

(on if he’s looking for something to give the team a spark) “I believe this team’s some potential. I believe this team’s not an 0-4 team. Clearly we’ve got a tough stretch ahead of us, but we’re going to give it our best shot.”


-hopefully im not late posting this

 

Fish is always there to protect Collins...I know that Kerry isnt the reason we gave up all 37 points, but how can you win games when you have 3 3and outs to start the game? Not to mention 2 picks on the league's worst pass D
