Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher
(On the first fumble and fumble recovery of the season)
“We knew they were going to come. I hope they keep coming. It’s nice to end the game on our first caused fumble and recovered fumble of the year. Thursday nights are challenges. They’re challenges for both teams, especially difficult to travel, and then on top of that to play a physical game like both teams did tonight, that was really impressive efforts by both teams. (Cardinals head coach) Ken’s (Whisenhunt) got a really fine team, which is evident by his defense and by the way they played. Happy for our guys. We put the short-week concept behind us this afternoon and we talked about trying to find a way to win the game and enjoy the long week ahead, so we’re going to need that because we’ve got a few guys banged up.”
(On the defense’s effort)
“It was a great effort. The team had a sense for what we had to do because going into this game with the respect factor for their defense, their defense is really, really talented, and so we knew it was going to be a hard day at work, offensively, so the defense had to step up and they did.”
(On the Rams’ pass rush)
“We had seven guys up. We had four tackles and three ends and they were on the field an awful lot, but they got consistent pressure throughout the day. We were a little bit frustrated with (Cardinals QB) Kevin’s (Kolb) mobility, he’s really a fine quarterback from a leg standpoint, but we hung in there and that was, obviously, the difference. We got sacks. We got field position changes. We were just lucky to get away with it.”
