Titans - Jags Postgame Quotes

From Titans Online:

 

 

TITANS HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER

(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.”

TITANS PLAYERS

QB KERRY COLLINS
(on today’s performance) “You’ve got to give Jacksonville credit. They came in with a good gameplan, and we, for whatever reason, weren’t connecting like we need to. We were coming up short on some third downs and didn’t give ourselves a chance to put anything together.”

(on the 0-4 start) “All I know when you’re in a situation like this is that every man has to take it upon himself to figure out what he needs to do. As a team, collectively, we need to come together and not listen to the criticism from the outside and keep believing in what we’re doing. I take it upon myself to not give up and I know the leaders on this team will take it upon themselves also to not give up as well. We had a great week of practice this week, and as long as we keep working, we have a chance.”

(on getting behind early) “You don’t want to completely abandon your game plan. Last week, we came back and were able to even get the lead. There’s no reason to completely abandon what you’re doing. I thought we had a pretty good game plan coming in, but they played well. I absolutely, 100-percent believe we were ready to play when the whistle blew.”

WR KENNY BRITT

(on lack of offense today) “We got off to a slow start so we tried to come back in second half, get motivated and throw the ball around to just do something to get into the red zone. When we did get into the red zone, we wanted to score. We just didn’t play our best game today.”

(on Jaguars’ defense) “I really don’t believe that the Jaguars were doing anything unusual. I knew if there were problems on offense, the offensive line is good enough to take care of it. That’s what we did in the second half and we had more opportunities to move the football.

(on trying to get first win next week) “We go back to work, like we get paid to do, and start from scratch.”

Kerry gives us the best chance to win. That would be why we’re 0-4…right?

I get the whole supporting you're players bit

But, you can’t continue to feed the fans the “quarterback of the future” bullshit, and keep him on the bench when you’re 0-4 and he’s in his 3rd year. It’s borderline insulting.

then we're really in trouble.

you could read into it thinking coach has more confidence in a old vet, that for all intents and purposes, is at the end of the line, than the qb we mortgaged our future on.

"hey, quit reading these ridiculous words of wisdom and get back to work!"

but

The old vet looked just plain old, slumping his shoulders and walking around. Now I know in his present days he can be described as stoic, but he looked genuinely uninterested. His over excitement stemming from his td run was laughable.

Also, I'm going to call for this like others have been calling for VY.

Make Kenny Britt our #1 or at least #2 receiver. He has been doing far too good a job to only be on the field during 3 WR sets.

Um...
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.

Really, Fisher? What a spin job. Oh, mad props to Kerry Collins for scoring two completely meaningless touchdowns. But hey, if you got the onside kick, perhaps Jacksonville would have been forced to put their starters in and who knows, maybe you could win. Thus, it is proof that Kerry gives Tennessee the best chance to win, because you were just one onside kick away..

I respect Fisher, but come on now.

That quote is the one that really pissed him off

He’s basically complimenting Collins for scoring against their second stringers and for making it look more respectable. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, Fisher is in the looney bin right now.

"Men, I want you just thinking of one word all season. One word and one word only: Super Bowl."

Couldn't have said it better.

This is our coaching staff’s MO this season in a nutshell.

I am 95% sure whenever the switch does happen

we won’t know about it until the day of the game.

Vince’s rookie year Fisher ran Vince with the first team the whole week leading up to the Dallas game. Never said a word about it. He threatened the media members that attended practice every day that he would yank their credentials if they reported it.

"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."

Thing is…WE ARE AN 0-4 TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just cause we shouldn’t be doesn’t mean we aren’t!!!

I love Jeff Fisher, but he’s gotta take his head outta his ass and smell the losses.

Forget about Collins once in for all, regardless of what he believes is ‘our best chance at winning’. There are many problems with the team, but there is no excuse for a team to go from 13-3 to 0-4.

At this point I would rather watch Vince throw 3 ints than KC ‘almost’ winning games. It’s more productive to lose with an eye on the future than lose for nothing.

“we’re going to give it our best shot”
O REALLY!! THAT’S GOOD!!

I really can’t believe I gave up on this season already…so disappointing.

Kerry Collins this will be his last game or he will be yanked.

KC deserves some heat for not taking it in his hands and winning a couple of these. The defense is on the hook for sucking terribly, and special teams. Ha, that is a joke. I am afraid Manning will completely dismantle the secondary unless Finnegan can hurry up and heal.

I mean the Colts game when I say his last game.
