Jeff Fisher's Monday Press Conference: You Guess the Answers

On the current winning streak:

“We haven’t changed anything from a preparation standpoint. We’re always preparing for the next opponent.”

On VY building trust:
“He’s doing what he needs to do each week. We were preparing him all along while Kerry was playing [basically VY is doing well now because we prepped him to, and figured he’d so well when put in all along]”

On Bellichick’s call:
“You don’t want Peyton to have the ball back in that situation from any position.”

On Mr. Adam’s enthusiasm:
“He just wanted to feel like a weiner.”

On Nick Harper:
“He’s getting better but some politically correct way of making an excuse to leave Hood in.”

I always knew he had it, but to see it in a game is really good.

(on if there were any injuries in the game)
We’ll let you know when we give you an official injury report

(on what area the team has improved on the most)
We were always a good team. Now we’re just getting the breaks.

(on Vince Young’s block for Chris Johnson and what message that sends to teammates)
Vince has always been a good athlete that I believe in.

(on Nick Harper) Rod Hood has done well filling in for him, but we all know how good Nick Harper is, so he’ll be in when ready.

on the current winning streak and if they prepare one game at a time
Initially, we were just trying to get a win. Now we have to just keep getting better every week.

on Vince Young building the trust of his coaches and teammates
We’ve always trusted Vince. We always said that he is our QB of the future, and he is making plays.

on Vince Young’s block for Chris Johnson and what message that sends to teammates
In the words of MCM contributor Gramsey, THAT WAS SCIENCE, BABY!

on Kenny Britt fighting for the reception
You draft a guy in the first round, and you expect him to make plays. Kenny is making plays for us. Now he just needs to keep improving every week.

(on why Vince Young is so effective at running the ball)
It’s ‘cause he’s so fast. Dumbass.

etc…

(on the player personnel in the secondary)

We have a secondary. It has personnel in it. We use them during the game.

(on if there is any worry about asking too much from Chris Johnson)

He is being the player we drafted him to be. As long as he keeps being the player we drafted him to be, I don’t think we are asking too much of him.

(on if he was surprised the Bills didn’t accept the penalty that set up Rob Bironas’ 51-yard field goal)

I actually asked Eugene to hold on that play knowing that we would get one of three possible outcomes:
…the officials would not call it and we kick the field goal
…the officials would call it and Coach Jauron would decline the penalty and we would kick the field goal
…the officials would call it and Coach Jauron would accept the penalty and we would run a draw on 3rd and 20 and let Chris Johnson be the player we drafted him to be.
So it worked out just as we drew it up.

We’re really impressed with his progress, and with his athleticism, he is really fitting in nicely to our offensive schemes.

What kind of stupid question is that?

/Could be me or Coach Fisher with that answer

How do you expect me to answer a question when you give me the answer in the question?

Well we all support Mr. Adams…hold on, let me get this brown stuff off my nose…ok, like I was saying…we’ve been working on that double bird play and I think Mr. Adams executed it flawlessly!!

Well, I think you have punt the ball in that situation and let your defense do their job.

I think Vince has finally come of age. He’s doing everything that we’ve asked him to do. And especially in light of Steve’s passing, I think he’s really matured and is becoming “the man” that we all knew he was.

We should guess how many of these questions were asked by Gary Estwick.

We’re not afraid to go to this package, and if 6 can’t get it done….we’ll use 7 or 8 if we have to.

I would have to say……..WINNING!!!!!

It’s surprising. I thought everything I did to try and break him would of worked but he’s got a tough spirit.
