    First of all I'll admit I'm a Texas Longhorn fan and yall know how we feel about VY. However, while I'll admit it's obvious he hasn't handled everything correctly, I think you can agree neither has Fisher. If not how do you explain the below (which I saw on another site)?


    Fisher after Randy Moss's first game, where Kerry Collins started but did not complete a pass to Moss:

    In reply to:

    Coach Jeff Fisher admitted there were some missed opportunities with the veteran receiver, who was targeted only four times and caught one pass for 26 yards, but he vowed to get him more involved as the Titans (5-4) try to stay afloat in a tight AFC playoff race. "As you look at the game, there's going to be different options," Fisher said. "But unless you've stood under center and dropped back in the pocket and tried to look down the field … until you've done that, be careful about criticizing quarterbacks because it is not an easy thing to do. "Randy has been here just a week, OK? We have a lot of stuff we will sift through and sort through and try to create more opportunities for him.''



    Fisher after Moss's second game, where VY started with Collins out:

    In reply to:

    As it turns out, Young may have been partly to blame for Moss' lack of use on Sunday, as his only throw to the star receiver sailed several feet over Moss' head for a third-down incompletion in the end zone. It was the only time Young even looked Moss' way in nearly three quarters of play before his thumb injury. “There were some reads and progressions that were incorrect,” Titans coach Jeff Fisher said of why Moss was not targeted more often on Sunday. Before Young exited the game, television cameras caught a conversation between Moss and Young on the Titans' bench that seemed to have the receiver at least imploring the quarterback to look for him. Fisher went on to say that Moss was open several times Sunday, but that the Titans did not get him the football. “He had some opportunities yesterday. He was open,” Fisher said. “He had an opportunity for one touchdown pass, and had an opportunity to keep a couple of drives alive, but the ball wasn't delivered to him.”

    Jeff Fisher also said this:

    (on that being the quarterbacks fault for not finding Randy)

    "There was a couple of situations where I think yes. But again like I said, none of us have played that position. It’s hard. You got people rushing, things like that. But there are no issues with Randy as far as he’s ability, things like that. He’s doing a great job on the field, in the locker room, in the classroom working hard. He just wants to help this team win."

    Rusty Smith should start based on him being the only one who knows how to throw to Randy Moss. After the game Smith was talking about how some of the coverages dictated throwing to Moss, so that's what he did. I don't think VY looked his way but the one time in the back of the endzone, and even then the ball was 10 feet over his head.

    Yeah, Fisher doesn't like Vince, that's pretty clear to most people now.

    Collins only played 1/2 of the game against Miami. But if you watch the Redskins game, Vince never even looked Moss's way. I made a point of watching him after no passes were going his way.

    Randy Moss doesn't 'throw' blocks. He get's in the way or kind of 'holds' defenders. It's effective so I don't mind it, but he hardly blocks by most peoples definition.

    As for Fisher not liking Vince, that's been obvious from day-1. He's just as immature as Vince sometimes. Can't wait til he's gone.

    Tman you can you explain why Scaife keeps throwing the ball on the ground?

    I will be glad when all these fake UT players are gone.

    I'm not necessarily defending Fisher as a coach but as head coach it's his call who plays. Bud stepping in last season was confirmed a violation of contract. He should have simply fired Fisher at that point rather than create the conundrum this team faces now.

    You make it sound like the whole team is from Texas, get over it. That's like say all people from Tennessee are inbred.

    I'm pretty sure a lot of us were already calling for his head then too. Even if we lose out, Bud will NOT fire Jeff. The man is loyal to a fault. Jeff is his guy and so is Vince, if Jeff leaves it will be on his own.
