Fisher sticking with Wells despite errant snaps
Despite two costly errant snaps by Scott Wells in Sunday's 37-27 loss to the New York Giants, coach Jeff Fisher says he is sticking with the veteran center for the Rams' season finale in Seattle.
"Yeah, we're gonna go forward with Scott," Fisher said. "Scott does a good job inside communicating, identifying things, getting protections called. So we'll go forward. He's gonna have to not allow that to happen, especially up there this week."
The first of Wells' two high snaps out of the shotgun came just before halftime, and put quarterback Shaun Hill in the scramble mode. It disrupted the timing of a play that might have been a touchdown pass to Stedman Bailey, who was open in the back corner of the end zone.
Under pressure, Hill had to throw the ball away, and the Rams settled for a field goal on the final play of the half.
The second high snap was so high, a leaping Hill couldn't control it, and the Giants recovered the loose fumble with 2 minutes left in the game.
Wells has been wearing a bulky elbow brace on his snapping arm since suffering an elbow injury in the team's Oct. 26 game with Kansas City. Fisher said the elbow no longer is a health issue and thought wearing the brace was more of a security things for Wells, who also had an errant snap late in the fourth quarter of the team's 12-6 loss to Arizona on Dec. 11.
RAM-BLINGS
Surprisingly, Fisher said he didn't think any Rams players, other than linebacker Alec Ogletree, would get fined for their actions in the fracas late in the second quarter.
_ Fisher said cornerback E.J. Gaines was better Monday, but would go through the concussion protocol this week.
