Fisher's Monday Press Conference

Coach Fisher's Monday Press Conference

HEAD COACH JEFF FISHER (on if Chris Johnson stepped out of bounds)
"I don't know if we'll ever know the answer to that. The shot that I believe the referee got shows the heel over the white, but it do...

More...

 

Not one... damn... question about Rod Hood. How can the media ignore this? Will Hood remain the starter, or will it be "Surprise! Harper is healthy and starting"?

 

It's Fisher, they know the answer already.

 

(on Chris Johnson’s offensive consistency)

That play in particular just showed if you’re playing uncommon opponents, it’s hard to adjust to his speed especially on the edge, what he does to angles. You start taking flatter angles, you’re dealing with cutback. Our guys up front are doing a nice job. Everybody’s contributing: the fullback, the tight ends, the receivers. They’re doing a nice job.

I'm pretty certain that did not have anything to do with the question asked.

 

I agree with Fisher, i dont think they had enough proof his heel was on the line, the call on the field was a TD and should have stayed.

but either way CJ got the TD. Though He could have had a 1,000 rushing yards if it had been a TD.

 

It's almost impossible to have better proof than what they had. I still haven't seen any shot that shows his heel not coming down. The shot from above is clear enough to rule him out of bounds. The refs made the right call, and we got the TD anyway. We should all be satisfied.

 

Uh Oh

(on balls starting to bounce the teams way)


Well, let me clarify myself. The ball that bounced into Rod’s (Hood) hands was a result of a great close and route recognition number one, and an athletic play by Michael Griffin. Mike’s on the sideline and he breaks up the pass and we get the deflection. We’re making these happen. They didn’t happen before. Those balls hit the ground and now we’re catching them. We just have to continue. The team’s healed up, we’re healthy. It’s good to get the DB’s back. We’re hopeful that Nick (Harper) will come back here in the next week or so. We’re running the football and we’re protecting it. When you can do that you can win games.

 

No no no. This is not what we want. Nick Harper can stay on the sidelines.

 

SOaB. Reinfeldt is probably working on Harper's new six year contract as well. Hood is still young. Hood could have a future here, but no, we can't wait to get over-the-hill Harper back.
