Highlights from Coach Jeff Fisher's Monday Press Conference

Here are the high points from today's press conference:
- Vincent Fuller will undergo surgery to repair a broken forearm. The Titans will not put him on IR, and Fisher says he should be back in 4-6 weeks (6 being more likely).
- Fisher did admit that they are evaluating the 53 man roster. Losing Fuller for an extended period of time, and the uncertainty surrounding Cortland Finnegan's hamstring have forced them to do this. Hopefully they will get a corner who can return kicks/punts.
- Fisher still has confidence that Ryan Mouton will be a good kick returner eventually. We don't have time for eventually anymore.
- Jared Cook still isn't 100%. I guess that answers the question a lot of us have been wondering about why he hasn't been more involved.
- Gary Estwick asked if Cortland Finnegan being hurt affected the game.
- Fisher was asked point blank if there was any thought to changing quarterbacks. He simply said no. What else is he going to say?
- Estwick also asked if watching the tape revealed why the receivers dropped passes.
- Bo Scaife will allegedly practice this week.

Fisher will stick with Collins pending an 0-6 start before a bye week…even if we beat the Jags we had better win either the colts/pats game or we might still could see a chafe. One guy asked if the would be re-evaluating mark jones and Fisher said he would be in the mix (I personally believe it was a mistake to cut him in the first place) I hope we can sure things up at CB and returner. Getting Scaife back on the field in my opinion is a priority, the pass offense looks really bad without their go to guy.

If these are the high points,
I don’t want to see a list of the low points

JimR,
Where are my MCM bucks?
You’re right though, a thoroughly depressing set of high points.

I'm a man of my word
so I definitely owe you a whole bunch of MCM bucks! (hey, I was only off by a factor of two.). In any case, it’s getting really expensive to be a Kerry Collins Sunshine Pumper. Do you take PayPal?

ewww and the fire fisher rumblings start.
wasnt to long ago they had fire fisher web sites poping up with kerry starting the season his first year and sucked so they started vince and he did great. repeat this year? some people are calling for it.
i think if fisher dosnt turn it around this year he will be gone. acutally with the returner situation mistake and him saying its not a mistake rubs me the wrong way.
i think hes a great coach but hes become complacient here and the players are thinking its ok to drop kickoffs in a game or drop a pass. he says as much in his press confrences that everything is ok and it was a bad day or whatever. i need to see more fire in him and iam not seeing it.

It is good to be a ratbird fan but I am willing to help you guys out. Before I arrived to help this evening, you hadn’t won a SB and lost your last 3 games. How long has Fisher had to get you a ring? Too long. He’s had his day. There is probably someone more talented who can get you there faster. Tenn. and Fisher are just comfortable. Billick kept us in most games and we won more than we lost (thank you Cleveland and Cincy 4 times a year) but we didn’t get better. He was a “safe” coach. Stir it up a little and see what happens.

Geez.
If we’re going to fire Fisher at least take the unproven college coach idea out of the mix. I mean, at least give us Holmgrem or Cowher or Shanahan in your “replace Fisher” lamentations…………

Recycle recycle. The same names come up over and over again. There are talented guys out there that can stomp the names you mentioned. Everyone is so chicken in the NFL to reach for a coach. Pitt. did. The Ravens did. ooooh, let’s play it safe and take a has been. I would take ‘Chuckie’ over any of the ones mentioned though.

Unless
We have a season like the lions did last year the fish isn’t going anywhere. But I agree if it ever does happen give us cowher or shanahan
by danomite on Sep 28, 2009 10:13 PM CDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs
Why is Cowher all of a sudden a genius?
Without the refs giftwrapping him a super bowl, Cowher IS Jeff Fisher. And Holmgren? No thanks. 1 Super Bowl with Brett Favre in his prime. HOW AMAZING. then takes 37 years to get the Seahawks to the playoffs less often than the Titans.
I know Super Bowls are the end game, but people tend to overrate their value in terms of how good a QB or coach is. So much goes into it. Timing, luck, ownership, draft picks panning out (believe it or not, luck is a component of this. Tom Brady in the 2nd Round, and the Colts labored over whether to take Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning, and many people said they made the wrong decision). Jeff Fisher, over time, has proven to be just as good as any of those coaches. Hell, Shanahan can’t do shit without JOHN ELWAY AND TERREL DAVIS!

Hmmm......
Not impressed with Cowher, either. Shanahan………..meh.
But you gotta give Holmgrem some props: Three Super Bowls, One title – and did it with two different teams (and one of them was the friggin’ Seattle Seahawks)! Also, he has a penchant for finding some pretty superb QBs.
I’ll second most of your thoughts – but Holmgrem is a darn good coach, and good talent assessor.

Holmgren has had a good career
But he is old, and his ship has sailed. His run with the Seahawks was not as impressive to me as I believe it was to you (matter of perspective). I see it as he had a pro bowl QB and struggled for many years in a horrible division, then had one really good season. If he was younger, I could agree, but when coaches start retiring, then I think they’re a bit past their prime.

Call out the players, not the coach.
Jeff Fisher has done more with less talent than any other coach in the league over the last 14 years. That`s why he is still the head coach. Players have not made the plays they need to make. The only thing Fisher is concerning himself with right now is how to beat the Jaguars and get a win. I look forward to the the Titans playing good Fisher style football for 13 more weeks, and hopefully 13 more years. Only now I HOPE they can get a spot in the playoffs instead of EXPECTING them to make it.

Yeah, Eddie George, McNaire, Mason, Wycheck, Kerse, Mathews, Carr, CJ, White, Bullock, Finnegan, Scaiffe, Earl Campbell……….didn’t help poor ‘ol Fishburn one bit. He’s a tight in the pants clock watcher.
The above author is right about Cowher being Fisher’s twin. They both jerk around talented young qb’s- VY and Cordell. They both cater to aging vets- Collins and Maddux. They both stall in the playoffs. Not a good fit. Shanahan better. Holmgren done and wasn’t outstanding without Favre. If you don’t want the Iowa State coach take Jim Zorn who’s available in 3 weeks.

I disagree with this:
bq.Fisher still has confidence that Ryan Mouton will be a good kick returner eventually. We don’t have time for eventually anymore.
At 0-3, we now have all the time in the world. There is no way this team can realistically expect to make the playoffs. We’re already playing for next year.

Because...
…if any team has shown a penchant for beating long odds to make the playoffs, it’s the Titans. Getting very far in the playoffs is a bit more hit or miss.
Still, a lot of games turn on the way the ball bounces. if we can go the whole Jaguars game without fumbling any punt/kick returns, we should win.
I do agree that at this point in the season we don’t have time for “Eventually” in the return game. We need someone that can do it now, or we need to either call a fair catch or let the ball go on every punt. Either way, we’ll get a better chance to win.

There's always time for eventually. The League is in no danger of folding.
Meanwhile, the Titans have virtually assured themselves of—at best—an 8-8 season. Seriously, the idea that this group can hold down Peyton Manning for four quarters is laughable. I also disbelieve in their ability to beat New England and San Diego.
Granted, once upon a time, the Titans went from 1-4 to 11-5 and eventually to the AFC Championship game. But that was a long time ago in a different playoff alignment. In the here and now, the NE Patriots went 11-5 JUST LAST YEAR and couldn’t get to the playoffs while the 9-7 Chargers went by virtue of their crappy division. Thus, in the here and now, given the tie-breakers, this team is already on the ropes and a single knock-down away from a TKO.
