    <em>Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky</em> <p>INDIANAPOLIS -- Jeff Fisher said throughout the season that he intended to play his guys through the season, even in a game that didn't have playoff implications.</p> <p>On defense, I guess that means safeties <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=4612" shape="rect" target="_new">Donnie Nickey</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10790" shape="rect" target="_new">Tuff Harris</a>, cornerback <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=766" shape="rect" target="_new">Tyrone Poole</a> and linebackers <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=6102" shape="rect" target="_new">Ryan Fowler</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9847" shape="rect" target="_new">Colin Allred</a> qualify as his guys.</p> <p>I won't count anything on the defensive line against him, as the Titans are without the injured <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3543" shape="rect" target="_new">Albert Haynesworth</a>, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2582" shape="rect" target="_new">Kyle Vanden Bosch</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=5658" shape="rect" target="_new">Dave Ball</a>. But among the healthy guys in the back seven, four -- <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=10463" shape="rect" target="_new">Michael Griffin</a>, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=3622" shape="rect" target="_new">Chris Hope</a>, <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=9801" shape="rect" target="_new">Cortland Finnegan</a> and <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/players/profile?playerId=2161" shape="rect" target="_new">Keith Bulluck</a> -- have already been pulled.</p> <p>This is fine and probably the right thing to do. I just wish Fisher hadn't spent so much time and effort selling how he wasn't going to do it this way this quickly.</p>

    Is anyone ever surprised anymore when Fisher says the opposite of what will happen?
