POSTGAME QUOTES: Rams vs. Jets
Rams Head Coach Jeff Fisher
(Opening Statements)
“That was a very respectful job that Rex Ryan and his team did this week under difficult circumstances. They got the team together, made enough plays to win this game after a long trip last week after Seattle – a difficult loss. Congratulations to Rex and his staff. We got outplayed today. We got outcoached today. Anytime you turn the ball over – I don’t care who you play in the National Football League – three times, you have a hard time if you don’t get the ball back yourself and to overcome those things and basically that was it. Second consecutive week we’ve had a long return called back because of a penalty. Certainly that was a momentum thing for us and we weren’t able to take advantage of it. We didn’t play well upfront. They ran the ball very well against us and that was the difference in the ball game.”
(On what he saw on the kickoff return that was called back)
“I just saw the replay. It looked like hands were inside. The player wouldn’t have made the play. When the player throws his arms up in the air like that sometimes it gets called. It didn’t look to me like it was an egregious hold.”
(On if it didn’t look like a hold to him on the kickoff return)
“To me, no? Did it like like that to you? No. We’re not good enough to overcome those kinds of things and the fact that it wasn’t a hold, but it’s just kind of the way it happens. You don’t know what happens with the momentum change in that game if that works.”
(On what adjustments the Jets made to prevent the Rams from moving the ball down the field)
“They made some adjustments. They kept changing things up with us. They covered us. They pressured us when they needed to pressure and we just didn’t make the consistent plays. Then first down, for the most part, their first down offense was typically in a positive situation winning first down. We’re losing first down, creating third and shorts and we couldn’t get the ball back.”
(On if he saw this coming after an energetic week of practice)
“No. The Jets are also in the National Football Leauge and you have to line up and play week in and week out against everybody, regardless of what’s happened to them in the past. We didn’t make the plays today, they did. They kept drives alive and took advantage of some things, a nice long seam route that’s not allowed to happen, but we’ll give them credit and we just keep working. Injury wise, the only person, I think, will miss some time will be (LB) Mario (Haggan) with the elbow.”
