I thought there were some good things defensively. It was nice to see the turnovers. I thought we played more competitively in the running game and on third down. But we've only been in camp for three weeks. It's not like we're three or four months down the road.
I think Wesly's experience in the kicking game has definitely showed up here in training camp. Between his experience and his playing ability, his toughness and his desire to be a good special teams player, all of those are weighing on the right side of the scale.
I think Doug deserves it. He is a guy that adds a lot to this game of football, has added a lot through his great career - running, passing and now kicking.
Overall our passing game was pretty efficient. We dropped a couple of balls, and we were disappointed we didn't get the ball in the end zone there when we were down there. Looked like Tom threw the ball well, set up quickly, and got it out there.
We need to play better. What else is there (to say)? We aren't going to win many games playing like this.
That was a game of big plays tonight. Denver made more than we did.
I think practice preparation is always an indicator of game performance - not necessarily 100 percent, because there are still a lot of variables there, but it?s still an indicator,
When you have the ball as long as we had (against the Jets), I think that is some measure of control. But we'd like to have more rushing yards for the number of attempts. There's no question about that. There were some positive things in the game about our running game. There are certainly a lot of things that we can work on. We'd like to be more consistent and gain a few more yards. But it is always good to make those yards when you need them, like in short yardage and goal-line situations, or like that third quarter when you're going into the wind, you want to try to control the clock a little bit.
Game management, game decisions, adjustments, seeing things during games - it's all important.
I grew up watching my dad scout games live. They played on Saturday. Sometimes they wouldn't get the films until Monday. Sunday air shipping from wherever the college team was located - Starkville, Mississippi, or wherever the film was coming from. It took two days.
The Denver Broncos will be our toughest challenge this season. To have any chance, it will take our best game and certainly a lot better performance than the last time we played them.
When you allow your opponent to rush for 160-170 yards and you tackle as poorly as we did ... it makes it tough to win,'' said Fisher, whose Titans dropped to 3-2, 1 1/2 games behind 4-0 Indianapolis, which plays at Tampa Bay on Monday night.
We've got a short week this week with New Orleans, ... It's a team we play in the regular season, so we'll try to put more attention in this game than a normal preseason game because it will come up in the regular season.
We've won a few games here the last five, six weeks and hopefully we can continue to play better.
